Sinopsis

In this five-book omnibus by the author of the Baby-Sitters Club, a group of teenage friends faces life and death—and all the joy and sadness in between


The bitter pain of losing Sunny’s mom brings Dawn and Sunny together again. Maggie may have more than she can handle with a celebrity boyfriend. Amalia struggles to have faith in her community after being verbally assaulted. And Ducky struggles to face the truth about himself.


A spin-off of the bestselling Baby-Sitters Club, the California Diaries are first-person accounts of five teenagers dealing with the ups and downs of growing up. Diary Three contains the third journal of each of the main characters, books eleven through fifteen in the series.


This ebook features an illustrated personal history of Ann M. Martin, including rare images from the author’s collection.


Reseñas Varias sobre este libro



This gets five stars primarily because of Sunny's books which put me in tears. Ann M. Martin wrote that one and it's the best one in the series. The way her mother's dying and death is handled is perfect. It's spot on. It was too close to home, actually. It might be the best depiction of a parent dying that I've read in a long long time, 'cause Sunny watches her mom die.

Dawn's diary it should be noted was incomplete in this edition. I'm not sure what happened there, but at least half the book was missing.

Amalia deals with racism in a very raw way, and it not only affects her but everyone around her. I felt this book was well done because it was a traumatic event for Amalia and I think it makes it easy for white readers to understand why people have ptsd and trauma because of racism.

Ducky - my fave - his last book was disappointing. Maybe because this one wasn't written by Lerangis, who wrote the first two Ducky diaries. I think if this had been written now, Ducky would be out, and maybe that makes this diary a little dated. But I also appreciated his constant confusion over why he loves but isn't IN love with these girls he hangs out with so much. I just wish it had been written a little better.
