This is NOT the Diary of Izzy Dobson


Overview

The illustrated fiction debut from Abigail Balfe, author of A Different Sort of Normal, about a neurodivergent preteen girl navigating school life and finding friendship. IZZY DOBSON HAS A FEW PROBLEMS- 1) School is the WORST. 2) Making friends is HARD. 3) Her VERY TOP SECRET EMBARRASSING DIARY has gone MISSING! Can Izzy retrace her steps before the diary falls into the wrong hands? Or has its fate already been sealed by a SINISTER DIARY THIEF? Izzy records her investigation in this Very Normal Notebook. (Definitely NOT another diary!)
