i think this book is a very good story because it was a kid that did not have friends and then she made a friend and then she was happy to have a friend and she is a good writer this is why i give this book 5 stars.

This book touched my heart deeply. It exposes rawness and tenderness which far and few books can. Mattie could be any of us, someone who doesnt know how to get her feelings out, frustrated. A dilemma that she thinks can never be solved, does, and thats what makes this book such a great read.

Mattie reminded me a lot of myself in the sense that we both are always writing things down. I loved this book and the unique twist it had.

This book is about a girl who has moved a lot in her time. Since she has moved so much she switched schools a lot. Switching schools so much caused her to not be very confident in her self. Her mom told her to keep her feelings in a a little book to let it out instead of being mean to people. Instead of writing in out plane she made stories to make them a little different so nobody else could read them without her knowing. In the end she makes a friend and her life gets changed quite a lot. This is one of the best books I have ever read!
