Morgan Edwards | 24 comments Anyone happen to remember a scholastic 2 book series from the early 2000s that was a diary /journal? It was about this girl and in the first book her mom gets remarried and in the second book she has twin baby brothers.

Morgan, what happened to the girl's birth father?
Is there a lot of angst/ drama about her mother remarrying?

Story's time period and location/ country?

I copied book details to the topic header. Feel free to edit it.
