Reader reviewed by Chioma

Another one of my favorite books by Magaret Haddix. This book takes us through the life of a girl named Tish Bonner who has a lot of troubles going on in her life. Tish's english teacher gives everyone a journal in which they are supposed to write in at least four time a week. At first Tish immediately dissmisses the assignment. But then she starts to write in it as if it were a diary. But at the end of each page she writes Dont Read This. So her teacher doesnt read the entries marked like that.
Tish has to deal with a lot of family problems. Tish's father is never around. He comes and goes for months at times. And because of it her mother is a wreck. Then all of a sudden Tish's mother leaves for California to find their father leaving nothing but a note. Now Tish has to survive on her own paying bills, and being the care taker of her little brother.
This is a very interesting book and will really make you see how fortunate you really are.
