The Secret Blog of Raisin Rodriguez

THE SECRET BLOG OF RAISIN RODRIGUEZ: Judy Goldschmidt: Razorbill: Young Adult: 224 pages

In a blog she sends to her best friends back in Berkeley, seventh-grader Raisin Rodriguez chronicles her successes and her more frequent humiliating failures as she attempts to make friends at her new Philadelphia school.

This was a quick read. I read most of it in one afternoon. The story was funny and brought back memories of my own junior high experiences. Although Raisin is only 13, I felt like some of the things she discussed would have suited a character a little bit older. I look forward to reading about Raisin’s other adventures in her upcoming books.
