Publisher's Synopsis

Canadian Library Association's Young Adult Canadian Book Award Winner

City of Dartmouth Book and Writing Award for Fiction winner

In these eleven short stories, Budge Wilson, the popular author of Lorinda's Diary and Thirteen Never Changes, explores growing up in a colorful but imperfect world from a female point of view.

A pen pal halfway around the world, starting a diary, a favourite teacher's romance with metaphors, the intricacies of family relationships, a high school reunion, the bittersweet taste of first love are all fodder for stories that will be read over and over again, and to treasure for a lifetime.
