Rebecca is funny, too; I like her quip about the absurdities of studying German: 'what can you expect from a language where the word for glove is 'Handschuh', which just means 'hand shoe'?' She's warmly self-deprecating, as when she compares herself to a more aloof friend: 'I wish I could be as enigmatic as her. I tried it during the summer, but it just confused people.' It's best when Rebecca is just herself. Why not, when she's always right? Good fun for younger teens.
Further reading suggestion: [[The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13¾ by Sue Townsend]] is still the last word in how to write a teenager's diary. [[Stop in the Name of Pants! by Louise Rennison]] is another recent take on the genre. For more from Anna Carey, try [[This is Not the Jess Show by Anna Carey|This is Not the Jess Show]].
