Dawn: Diary One

I read Dawn: Diary One by Ann M. Martin
I received a free ARC through NetGalley
4 Stas


Dawn is back in California with her friends. They have a group going similar to the Baby-Sitters Club, but definitely not as organized. Also, they are growing up and maybe even growing apart. When their 8th grade class gets moved into the high school, they are no longer queens of the school. Now, they are the lowest of the low. Will they be able to keep their friendships and grow together, or will things start falling apart? Told in journal form, this is a quick-moving, realistic look at life of a young teenager.

When I saw this book on NetGalley, I was instantly brought back to my childhood. I grew up with the Baby-Sitters Club. I did not know that this was a reprint of a previously released series. It was still entertaining. It wasn't the best book I've ever read, by any means, but I can see a lot of girls relating to this one. Some of the things that happened are things that could possibly happen to 13 year old girls, and the journal format makes it even more relatable. I really felt like I was reading a journal, because it was written like so many journals I kept as a young girl.

I'm interested to see if this series becomes popular again. I am sure many kids today will still love the Baby-Sitters and this series as well. It's all about growing up.
