Illustrated by
Kate Aldous.
When Iola's friend Jennifer gets a diary, Iola is jealous. She should have it since she's bursting with ideas, and Jennifer can't think of a thing to say. The diary causes friction until Iola manipulates Jennifer into giving it to her. Aldous's realistic line-art illustrations contrast Iola's angelic looks with her quick, biting--occasionally verging on nasty--wit.
