I know it's a YA book, but I felt like the 12-year-old characters were more like 5-year-olds. All the dialogue felt forced and awkward and the worst thing? The entire book is an "and then" construction. You could tell the entire story in one sentence: A 12-yr-old girl finds a magical journal that makes everything she writes in it come true and she learns right from wrong in the process of using it to solve her problems. You're welcome. Definitely skip this one. ( ) Twelve Year Old Angela Ashby is dealing with a lot at the moment. Her parents are divorced and neither her mom or her dad seem to have time for her anymore. At school, there is a bully that loves to pick on Angela and her best friend, Mallory. Things begin to change, however when Angela and Mallory attend their school's carnival. A mysterious fortune teller gives each of the girls a gift, a necklace for Mallory and a journal for Angela. The journal comes with a warning though, "With great power comes great responsibility." It takes Angela a while to figure out what the warning means as the hopes and dreams that she writes down in her journal begin to come true in her life. The Journal of Angela Ashby is an exciting and magical middle grade drama. Angela and Mallory were wonderful main characters and the inclusion of fairies, gnomes and unicorns helps to keep the book entertaining. The characters were realistic as pre-teens in their actions and motives. I enjoyed that the journal was not only a source of fun, but also responsibility that helped Angela to realize the impacts of her actions on those around her as well as help her grow into a caring person. There are also many good lessons on friendship, family and bullying. As an adult reader, the middle of the book got a little boring for me as Angela continued to test out journal entries to see what would happen, although this is also where many of the fun characters come in, so middle grade readers may be more entertained. Overall, an entertaining, supernatural adventure for middle grade readers. This book was received for free in return for an honest review. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
A Middle Grade "Death Note" "With great power comes great responsibility." -Voltaire I have great power. That's what she told me. The old fortune-teller at the school carnival. I thought I was doing the right thing ... with the magic journal she gave me. But nothing could prepare me for what happened next. Or, for what I unleashed. At a school carnival, a mysterious fortune-teller gives twelve-year-old Angela Ashby a journal and warns her to use it wisely. Nothing prepares Angela for the journal's power--when she pours her heart onto its pages her desires come true. She tests the journal by conjuring a gnome, a unicorn, and a farting fairy and then uses it to stop the school bullies in their tracks. But the unintended consequences alienate her best friend and puts her favorite teacher in danger of losing her job. After she shares her deepest desire of all--that her parents get back together--her adversary steals the journal, and Angela fears she will use it to bring mayhem to the entire school if she doesn't get it back.
