Diary Libri GmbH Diary of a Tween Girl- Diary of a Girl with Way Too Many Crushes

Meet Ava. Twelve years old, seventh grade, and currently juggling four crushes she has no idea what to do with.There's A., last year's crush, who is technically over but somehow still living rent-free in her brain. There's V., the popular boy who chews his gum like a tractor and is somehow still perfect. There's the boy from the movie theater, who she saw exactly once and has since given an entire personality and a name. And there's Alvaro, the actor from her favorite show, who lives approximately four thousand miles away and has never once ignored her.Ava has a plan for all of them. Every single plan goes catastrophically wrong.She lends V. a pen to get his attention. The pen doesn't work. She tries a subtle compliment and ends up complimenting his shoelaces. She wears a neon yellow scarf to be impossible to miss, walks confidently down the hallway, and takes an open locker door directly to the face. In front of him.And then there's the text. The one she meant to send to her best friend Lea. The one she sent to V. instead.Funny, honest, and painfully relatableWritten entirely as Ava's diary, with short entries, doodles, and illustrations on almost every page, this is the story of one girl surviving her first real year of crushes, friendship drama, and the strange new experience of caring way too much what one specific person thinks of her.It's also, quietly, a book about something else: what happens when a crush starts costing you a friendship, and how you find your way back.Why girls finish this one- Short diary entries, perfect for fifteen minutes or a whole afternoon- Illustrations, lists, and doodles on nearly every page- A voice that sounds like an actual twelve-year-old, not an adult imitating one- A complete standalone story, so you can start here without reading the others- Around 100 pages, never intimidating for a reluctant readerWhy parents say yesThis is clean and age appropriate throughout. No swearing, no dating, no content that will have you skimming ahead. The crushes stay exactly where they belong for this age: blushing, overthinking, and the occasional accidental text. Underneath the humor, Ava learns that friendship outlasts crushes, that you cannot make someone like you by pretending to be someone else, and that being yourself is not a consolation prize.Perfect for girls ages 10 to 14, fans of funny illustrated diary-style books, reluctant readers who need short chapters, and anyone who has ever rehearsed a two-word text message for forty minutes.Book 4 in the Diary of a Tween Girl series. Each book stands completely on its own.Scroll up and meet Ava today.
