Wouldn't you die if something you wrote for your personal journal was read and published for every one's reading pleasure. Particularly embarrassing since the evil character in you journal, is your very worst enemy and you are scared she will find out..This is exactly what happens to Jamie Bartlett in HOW MY PRIVATE, PERSONAL JOURNAL BECAME A BESTSELLER by Julia DeVillers. Jamie accidentally turns in a private story from her journal instead of an English assignment and becomes a best selling author almost over night. Then the true fun begins. Every one wants piece of Jamie's time , her new agent, her new publist, new new media coach Jamie spend lots of her time getting facial, manicures, and hair makeovers. With all of the media events to begin shortly after. Jamie starts to panic and wonders when she will be able to meet all these deadlines that others are placing on her.
I would suggest using this book in Junior High and High school. As I teacher I might look at the similarities and differences between Jamie and IS, Sawyer Spencer and Myrna, and Marco Vaga and Connor Griffin. Using a Venn Diagram would give the teacher a great lesson in people's characters. There is nothing in the book that I would rate and R or X rating. Our kids will love this book.
