The Magic Diary | Pat LaMarche
1 post | 1 read
A young girl battling cancer is given notebook by her favorite teacher. She's told the notebook is magic, because when she writes in it, time will go more quickly. Time can really drag for a sick kid in the hospital. The girl writes her inner most thoughts about her family, her illness, her fears, her dreams and her desire for a better world. One morning she awakens to find that people out of history have written to her in her magic diary. These famous voices out of time endeavor to explain the complicated world in which she lives.

The Magic Diary | Pat LaMarche
Pickpick

I fell in love with Ms. Genevieve Flynn immediately. The refreshing, witty, and authentic voice of this adorable teenager is captured on the pages of her 'magic diary.' The magic journal helps her cope with emotions during treatment for a relapse of cancer. Genevieve is 'visited' by historical personalities who give her (and her readers) valuable history lessons that help her come to terms with her illness and her own place in history.
