Review:

"Important preteen social issues are addressed, including lying to gain peer acceptance and dealing with divorce. With its approachable style and friendly language, this is sure to please both older fans of Rebecca Elliott's "Owl Diaries" (Scholastic) and reluctant readers alike.
" - School Library Journal

"Readers will get a good glimpse at how kids can untangle themselves from complicated predicaments. Droll line drawings decorate Pippa's journal, making this a good bridge book to longer chapter books. Likable characters in humorous situations make for a promising series opener." - Kirkus

"A charming story about the lengths you can go to win someone over, this is a great addition to the perennially popular illustrated-journal trend in middle-grade fiction. Although the character-created sketches can draw Wimpy Kid comparisons, the tone more closely matches Marissa Moss' Amelia's Notebook (1995)... the perfect quick read for any student with starry-eyed aspirations and a big imagination.
" - Booklist
