Dani is 11 and she writes a diary when she has to move and start a new school.

She tells a lie to try and fit in.

She really was not in drama club before but she wanted to fit in and make friends a little easier by telling that fib.

It works out and she makes friends and this was a really cute book that many girls will enjoy.

It was similar to the diary of a wimpy kid series but for girls.

A really cute fast and fun way to spend a little while reading someone else's fictional diary.

This book is first in a series and girls will want to pick up the rest of the series for sure.

Recommended to girls or people who like girl stories or diaries.

New School, New Me! (The Totally Secret Diary of Dani D. #1)

by J. M. Klein

West 44 Books

Pub Date 01 Oct 2018

I am reviewing a copy of New School, New Me through West 44 Books and Netgalley:

Dani is eleven her parents have just separated and she finds herself having to move to a new town and has to attend a new school.

Dani now lives with her Grandparents who are grumpy since she and her Mom moved in. She pretends that she was in a drama club at her old school and attracts new cool friends but can she keep up with the lies? Or will her secrets be revealed?

I give New School, New Me five out of five stars!

Happy Reading

Really cute book for young girls. It's in the diary style like diary of a wimpy kid. My daughter really enjoyed it as we read it together and looked at the illustrations. If you like diary of a wimpy kid or dork diaries, this is a book you will love.
