How My Private, Personal Journal Became a Bestseller

215 pp. | Dutton | May, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-525-47283-5 $$15.99
(4) 4-6 After accidentally submitting her latest journal entry, a story, instead of her English essay, ninth-grader Jamie's life is turned upside down. Her teacher submits her story to an agent, there's a bidding war, and next thing she knows, Jamie's a published author. While the book's idea is promising and Jamie's self-deprecating attitude is believable, Jamie's writing is not the stuff of bidding wars.
