I don't remember it but I wrote it down in my 6th grade reading journal:

I would rate this book a 4/5 because personally, I liked it because it actually hooked me on in the beginning which made me want to read the book even more. From every chapter the event just got more interesting. A con about this book is how the author started the first chapter as I and I didnt know who "I" was until a couple of more chapters of reading it was Robin. While reading, I saw how everything was flowing altogether and it would end the chapter with you thinking which would make the reader want to keep on reading. Overall, I would recommend reading this book again and to others who are asking for what kind of book to read.

Vorhersehbar und nicht wirklich spannend

[Megan · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is about a girl who's parents are divorced, and is very curious about the new woman who will be staying with her and her mother. She is renting what used to be her old playroom. One day while home alone, she decides to find out a little more about this woman who she seems to know very little about. She sees two pictures, one of a little girl, and one of a little boy. She starts reading her diary, and can't believe the woman's past. She is determined to fix it herself, which would end up causing a world of trouble.
