Today's post is about Homeroom Diaries by James Patterson. "Cuckoo" Clarke recently had a stay in a mental institution following a breakdown, but she's turning over a new leaf with her "Operational Happiness." She's determined to beat down the bad vibes of the Haters, the Terror Teachers, and all of the trials & tribulations of high school by writing and drawing in her diary. And when life gets really tough, she works through her own moments of uncertainty through imaginary conversations with her favorite literary characters. This book has 272 pages and contains language and mature themes.
