Gdybyście ty i twoi przyjaciele zostali zmuszeni do opuszczenia miejsca, w którym dorastaliście, i przeniesienia się do nowego liceum, gdzie wszyscy nienawidziliby was na dzień dobry, co wtedy?

I gdybyś wtedy spotkała kogoś naprawdę wyjątkowego… i to wywróciłoby twój świat do góry nogami?

Wow, I absolutely Loved this book and Love Mal (daughter of Maleficent ) from Disney's Descendants movie and so cool to hear what she thinks about her journey there at Auradon Prep going there from her homeland, the Isle Of The Lost, since she is one of the villain kids : ) definitely Love it & Love Disney's Descendants movie, Isle Of The Lost novel, books, & Descendants Wicked World animated series which is on Youtube : ) definitely recommend this book and the Disney Descendants movie and series, especially if you love Disney or the Disney heroes and villain characters as its a really cool and original twist on it with some new characters, that being their children : )

This was a cute, fun book that tells everything that's going on inside Mal's head during the events of the Descendants TV movie. You get to find out what she thinks about her friends (especially Evie!), Ben, her mom, Auredon Prep, her new classmates and everything that happens during her time at school.

I really liked this. Yes its pretty much like the first movie but I felt like I was hearing all of Mal's secret thoughts during the movie. If I remember right there were a few scenes in the movie Mal was writing in a journal I can't help but think this was it. This was a fun read I devoured it in 2 days!!

Essentially a retelling of the first film, but in the form of diary entries by Mal. I actually enjoyed this more than the official novelisation.

October 3, 2025Disney Descendants: Mal’s Diary
This was just the first book and the first movie written like a diary. Not much difference. Mal’s thoughts are just expanded. There’s more here about her conflicting emotions over wanting to be like her mother (and winning her approval). But at the same time wanting her mother to invest in her as a person and wanting to choose her own path. There’s also some expanded thoughts on Ben and it got a little annoying at the end where it keeps repeating itself of Mal’s thought (I have to remind myself it’s just a spell). Towards the end its practically on every page.
My opinion is after reading all these 7 extras (except the one I couldn’t find “Royals and Rebels”) “Mal’s Diary”, “Mal’s Spell Book 2”, “Disney Descendants Yearbook”, “Disney Descendants Secrets of Auradon Prep”, “Disney Descendants Audrey’s Diary”, “Uma’s Wicked Book for Villains” “Mal’s Spell Book”, and “Evie’s Fashion Book” I’d only recommend Evie’s Fashion Book. If you like fashion. All of these are just repeats. If you’re a fan of Descendants these might be fun. But if you’re like me and can skip the “appetizers” and go straight to the “main course” just either watch the movies themselves or (and) read the books. And truthfully probably if you watch the movies that will be enough without even the junior novelizations. They’re pretty much the same thing told in written words and to watch it would suffice with these.

This book is pretty much on the same level and almost pretty much the same as Mal's spellbook. We get a lot on Mal's thoughts as the first movie of descendants progresses, but personally, I just could not stand to read all her doubts concerning her path. Even less so the cringey teen romance with Ben. All her whining was actually kind of annoying. Anyone who knows me knows that I prefer the VK's being evil, or at least not so insufferably good.
We do get a small good tidbits about how living on the Isle is and stuff, but meh pretty standard stuff. Things that most fans should already know. Which is why even though I do love Mal and the others, it is angering how they so quickly forget the other VK's still stuck on the Isle. Makes Uma's actions in the 2nd movie much more understandable.
Overall, this book was a disappointment. Full of teenage angst, whinning, and very much cringey and eye rolling teenage drama. Not really worth the read at all.

Actual Review:
Why exactly did I read this book? First of all I wanted a bit of that Disney feeling back AND if it wasn’t obvious enough I had the book on hand. It was a really quick read so I flew by it in just one day. The pacing of this book was a bit fast so watching the movie would’ve been a better choice for the storyline itself. But characters? Ooooh we got a bunch of good emotions in this, I feel like you can see the transition from evil to good (even if it was kinda fast), and I really enjoyed that factor. Do I still think Ever After High is wayyy better? Absolutely, but Disney Descendants was one of my faves when I was younger and you can definitely catch me listening to the songs every once in a while.
Favorite Characters:
~ Mal (of course)
~ Jay
Some Scenes that I liked from the book:
~ The enchanted lake Scene
~ Family Day Scene

I read this book,because i was bored after school and have nothing to do so i went to my book shelves and found this book on floor so i picked it up and read.I didn’t expect it would be that professional!I thought it was just for young kids to read and it wouldn’t be as amazing as novels.However,i was wrong!It was wonderful,i learnt more about Mal and how does she feels.The story was written differently from her respective,it wasnt all the same from the novel,is all about how Mal thinks.Although,many people might not think this book is awsome,but it really is!I recommed you all to read it!

im not sure if this book is for child or teenagers, because it's inappropriate for both
at the first, they teach you how to be evil (not just mean) but in the end, it turns into a very cringe teenager love story
the reason why i want to read this : because i have no idea what and how to write in my diary

I think that this book is really good because it has pages which are not colored so you can color them yourself! It tells the exact events in the movie but it actuly tells how Mal is feeling while the event is happening and stuff it did't show in the movie.well I enjoyed reading this book, and I hope you enjoy reading this as much as i did!

It was similar to the movie but with a lot more backstory to Mal's character.

Nothing new or different from the movie, but still good and interesting.

It was Mal’s diary, of course I loved it. I am going to be her for Halloween this year. Now I just have to find a book that might be half as good.
