Written by an adult, from a childs point of view
+ hillarious
+ Interesting, but disturbing
I'm first of all very upset at some of these reviews. When people say "an adult trying to sound like an elevn year old." and "this isnt by an eleven year old"
The women who wrote it IS an adult, relating to her journals FROM the age of eleven.
