Synopsis:
When Jamie Bartlett accidentally turns her journal in instead of her homework, she becomes an overnight bestselling author and her life turns upside down.

Review:
How My Private, Personal Journal Became a Bestseller has a supercute, bubbly tone that I found exceptionally charming. Author Julia DeVillers absolutely nails her 14-year-old protagonist’s voice. Jamie is naive, exuberant, silly, bold, timid, smart, and goodhearted (despite several lapses in judgment). The plot moves quickly, though a bit predictable, which I think is more a genre issue than an author issue. DeVillers gives us just enough of Jamie’s teen superhero story to tantalize us without letting that story overshadow Jamie’s. The book won’t change anyone’s life, but not every book has to.
