More tales from that stolen diary are on display here, in another fat $5 book. This one deals with her infatuation with Ken, getting caught wearing boy’s underwear in gym class (after her mom forgot to do laundry), being fat and a test for head lice. I love how this is so thoroughly grade school. Every little thing that happens at school, every thing that anybody says about her, is absolutely life and death drama. This diary was quite a find, that’s for sure. I don’t know how much more material there is in here, but it’s mesmerizing. Maybe it wouldn’t be after a few dozen issues, but I can’t see myself getting bored with this stuff any time soon.
