Publisher Description

Tish Bonner's high-school English class has to keep a dumb journal for their teacher, Mrs. Dunphrey. Doesn't Mrs. Dunphrey know that kids are too busy coping with real life to be bothered with writing? But when 16-year-old Tish's life is turned upside down, her journal becomes her only confidante.

Relying on her teacher's promise that she won't read any entry marked don't read this, Tish writes about her loneliness and fear when her mother abandons her and her little brother. Alone and with nowhere to turn, the teenager is forced to trust Mrs. Dunphrey with a final entry one that she desperately wants her to read.

Popular new author Margaret Peterson Haddix addresses the fear, desperation, and loneliness of young abuse victims with warm insight and compassion. Alyssa Bresnahan's flawless reading underscores a message which can't be emphasized enough: sometimes you need to ask for help.

    " one of my ALL time favorites "

    " Teens will relate to and enjoy this book. The determination to keep hidden all the embarrassing aspects of their lives is a struggle all teens can understand. Keeping an English class writing journal is also an assignment that most teens know about. Even though few teens are unlucky enough to experience the life of the main character, they are intuitive enough to know that there are peers in every school who deal with parents who are barely coping. Unfortunately, some readers will be disappointed by the lack of character development and will be left feeling that something is lacking. However, the journal format allows you to cut the author some slack in that the writing is 100% that of a teenager, with no narrative/author input. "

    " This is a very quick read, and not a bad one. A girl in an abusive home writes in a journal which is assigned by her teacher. The teacher promises not to read it, but we get to, and we see why this teen is in such trouble. "

    " Just by looking at it, it's really not my type of book. But I'm really glad I gave it a chance. It's kind of sad, if you have troubles at home or something, this will be really good for you to read. I really did enjoy this book, it would help if maybe I could relate to it. "
