Diary of a 13-Year-Old Girl Paperback – December 17, 2012

This book was written by my daughter when she was 10 years old. She woke up every morning one summer, went to the computer and kept writing until she was finished. We published it (without edits) as a gift for her 11th birthday.

Trying not to judge a book by its cover (attached), I opened the book and started reading. I’ve seen amazing & creative short stories written by girls the same age, unpublished. This was uninspired, and frankly troubling to be written by a 12 year old. My daughter loves to read, and she read a quarter of this book, put it down and went & did something else. Odd, I thought. I went and checked on her twice. If my child gets bored by a book, that is telling. And that is why I picked it up and started reading. I’m sending this back. There are no values in this book I want my child picking up.Just a warning to parents that have impressionable children, this book might not be the right choice. I would never put stilettos on a child. Se*ualizing a child (attached) author is also very troubling.

Great read for a preteen

I got this for my 12 year old niece. I never actually read it but she said she didn’t really like it.

My daughter doesn’t like reading but she is enjoying this book. Short chapters and a easy read.

My daughter and her friend loved it! I got 2!

My 13 year old daughter loved this book.She's a very strong reader and she's picky about subject matter, but she gave it a big thumbs up.

My daughter loves this book . She feels a connection to the girl in the book and couldn’t put it down .
