Our review

Eva Wingdale volunteers to organize her school’s spring festival, then discovers that her plans exceed what she and best friend Lucy can finish alone. The practical question—ask Sue for help or risk cancellation—turns the diary into a record of changing judgment about responsibility and a classmate Eva dislikes.

The full-color diary format suits readers moving from leveled books into short chapters, especially those who enjoy lists and planning. Diary of a Pug: Pug Blasts Off also centers a project in trouble, but Eva’s conflict comes from overcommitting and resisting collaboration rather than causing accidental damage.

Before you buy it

The school event may be cancelled, and Eva labels Sue unkindly before learning to work with her.
