So Funny!

Review by Abbie

In this book, Katie Roberts deals with being Jewish, liking boys, and growing up altogether. This book made me think more about being a modern Jew.

its good

Review by Ysa

I liked it, but I didn't relate to it so it wasn't the most calling book I've ever read, but I definitely recommend.

Parent Guide

In this stand-alone sequel to The Private Notebook of Katie Roberts, Katie has entered seventh grade, and things aren't running smoothly at home. Her mother pays more attention to her twin baby brothers than to Katie, and she won’t let Katie wear lipstick to school. Plus, Katie’s stepfather, Sam, has bought a restaurant and is struggling to make ends meet. If that’s not bad enough, Katie is forced to tutor the annoying new boy in class, who came from Italy to live with his grandfather after his parents died in World War II. Set in 1948-9, Katie’s fresh voice and the fun diary format – complete with cute drawings – make this a great, kid-friendly choice.
