Dear Diary . . .

This week, I'm sharing teen books written in a diary format.  Check them out . . . .

The Runaway's Diary by James Patterson & Emily Raymond
Eleanor is happiest when she's left alone to dream up elaborate stories. Sam is polished, fun, and popular. Still, the sisters have always been there for each other--until everything changed. Now Sam is somewhere in Seattle, and Eleanor runs after her.

The Year I Didn't Eat by Samuel Pollen
Fourteen-year-old Max records his efforts to control his anorexia in a therapist-prescribed journal that also chronicles his parents' difficult relationship and his feelings for a new girl at school, Evie.

Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer
Through journal entries sixteen-year-old Miranda describes her family's struggle to survive after a meteor hits the moon, causing worldwide tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions.
