Annotation: One day, Jamie’s private journal is printed out and read. It becomes an instant hit in the bookstores.

Summary: When Jamie's friend Harmony accidently prints out Jamie's private personal journal and turns it in for homework, Jamie is shocked! The teacher reads out loud the paper never expecting it to be a journal and it becomes an instant hit. Everyone wants a copy and it might come out as a book! Will Sawyer, the meanest girl, make Jamie's life horrible because Jamie based Myrna, the evil villain on her?

Critique: The story was good. There were parts of the journal in the book so we could see how good the journal was. There were a lot of thoughts going on in the book. My favorite character in the story is Jamie because she became an author and was a regular girl at the same time.
