Wow! It's hard to believe that Marissa Moss's creation, Amelia and her composition book/diary, first hit the shelves 20 years ago! Amelia was not new to me, having just started as a children's bookseller, and having a daughter and a collection of American Girl dolls. Amelia and her notebooks have had a variety of publishers, starting with Tricycle Press. After publishing an excerpt from

Tomorrow marks the end of a really, supremely, special era that began back in 2011. Book 7 of The Popularity Papers, The Less-than-Hidden Secrets and Final Revelations of Lydia Goldblatt and Julie Graham-Chang, will be published. Amy Ignatow may have been capitalizing on the popularity of the Dork Diaries and Diary of a Wimpy Kid when she created the diaries of Lydia and Julie, 5th graders

Amy Ignatow has knocked my socks off again with The Popularity Papers: The Long Distance Dispatch Between Lydia Goldblatt and Julie Graham-Chang! I really don't know how she does it. Not only does she capture, wonderfully, the personalities of her two main characters through their writing and drawings, but she also manages to create a plot that is so genuine and real and filled with humor and
