In her diary, Mallory details how she feels when she finds out that Jake, a cute fifth grader (she's in fourth) likes her. Her friends are all really excited, but when Jake calls to talk to her, he more frequently discusses ball games with her brother Max. When she accidentally accepts an invitation to Jake's party when she has already accepted an invitation to her friend April's party, she's not quite sure what she should do. She'd rather go to April's, but her friends pressure her to go to Jak...more
This novel seemed to be more of a cautionary tale: always listen to your heart, not what others say.
Mallory is feeling the waters of her age, and when she hears a boy has a crush on her she must decide if she feels the same. But what if she doesn't? By listening to her friends, she finds herself in hot water - and almost a friend short.

I love the Mallory books, so I hate to say that this one disappointed me, but it did a little bit. Mainly I’m confused as to why we once again have to revisit the issue of boys and crushes, when just two books ago, in Mallory's Guide to Boys, Brothers, Dads, and Dogs, Mallory determined she wasn’t ready to be interested in boys yet. I agree that the subject matter is interesting to girls in the book’s target audience, and I loved reading Mallory’s secret diary, but it just felt very inconsistent...more

Good readalike series for the Dork Diaries fans. Written in a journal/diary format (think Diary of a Wimpy Kid) these books features doodles and diary entries. The reading level is simpler than the Dork Diaries series so this would be a good series to recommend to the younger set interested in those books and also the younger Lauren Myracle fan set. Fast read I'd recommend for girls in middle grades (3-5).
