Don't You Dare Read This, Mrs. Dunphrey

Don't You Dare Read This Mrs. Dunphrey By Maragaret Peterson Haddix

Tish Bonner was in the middle of a big pit of problems, and there was no way of getting out. Well, not until Tish is required to keep a journal in her teacher, Mrs. Dunphrey's English class. This is where Tish can pour out all of her problems, and doesn't have to worry about them being exposed. Mrs. Dunphrey has promised, promised, that if an entry in the journal is marked "Do Not Read This", she will not read it. It seems, to Tish, that all here secrets are safe. She spills about things happening in her family, the thoughts she has, and much more. More and more pressure build up on her, and she does not know what to do.

I liked this book because Tish expressed herself in such manners that you actually felt that you were there with her, and you had a secret window and could take a peek into here every-day life. I give this book FOUR AND A HALF STARS. **** + 1/2.
