dork diaries: Tales from a not so fabulous life

Good grief, it's about time I read this book. The author has since written ten more in this series, and has started a new (oh-so-similar) series with a male teen protagonist.

What's it about? It's about the day-to-day trials of a young teen girl, in school, with her friends, with her enemies, with boys. It's about as readable as a book can get, with fun illustrations, and contemporary vocab, and struggles every girl can relate to.

So, if you, like me, have somehow managed to skip this one, I'm afraid it's required reading these days. I had no idea so much drama went on in junior high.
