Frank Morrison.
Second-grader Keena keeps a detailed journal and, as Harriet the Spy could have told her, that can cause friend problems. After Tiffany gets her mitts on the book, she blackmails Keena into playing princess games or facing exposure. Thompson captures the day-to-day minutiae of school life, and Keena, along with her divorced-but-civil parents and gruffly supportive brother, is likable.
