Things are so bad, I feel like I'm going to explode if I don't do something... Everyone has to keep a journal in Mrs. Dunphrey's English class, but the teacher has promised she won't read any entry marked "Do not read this." It's the kind of assignment Tish Bonner, one of the girls with big hair who sit in the back row, usually wouldn't take very seriously. But right now, Tish desperately needs someone to talk to, even if it's only a notebook she doesn't dare let anyone read. As Tish's life spins out of control, the entries in her journal become more and more private...and dangerous. Is she risking everything that matters to her by putting the truth on paper? And is she risking more by keeping silent?

Tish's English teacher, Mrs. Dunfrey, requires the students to write in a journal 3 times a week. She specifically said that if the students mark an entry "Do Not Read" she will not read it. At first, Tish distrusts the promise. She tests Mrs. Dunfrey by writing about harmless things that no one els...
This book kind of reminds me of Scrawl. But, you know, with a girl (right?). I don't remember it well, but it was good, yes.
I like diary books but this didn't do it for me.
I was sitting around tonight, putting off doing anything productive, when I picked up this book up off my shelf and started reading bits of it. I first read it in seventh grade, and I really enjoyed it at the time.Haddix deals with difficult subject matter in this book, more explicitly a girl abusi...
