Why read it?
1 author picked How My Journal Became a Bestseller as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Most people didn’t believe that kids can be authors, but seeing another kid do it—even if her story is fictional—makes it feel possible.
From Leila's list on kids doing things only grown-ups could do.
