The Gossip File

<p>&quot;Holy fried onion rings! Fun from beginning to end.&quot; -- Wendy Mass, New York Times bestselling author of 11 Birthdays and The Candymakers on The Dirt Diary</p><p> The Gossip File:<br>* Chandra lets little kids pee in the pool.<br>* Melody stole $ from the café register.<br>* Ava isn't who she says she is...</p><p>Ava is cool. Ava is confident. Ava is really Rachel Lee who is lying her butt off. </p><p>Rachel is visiting her dad at a resort in sunny Florida and is ready for two weeks of relaxing poolside, trips to Disney World - and NOT scrubbing toilets. Until her dad's new girlfriend, Ellie, begs Rachel to help out at her short-staffed café. That's when Rachel kinda sorta adopts a new identity to impress the cool, older girls who work there. Ava is everything Rachel wishes she could be. But when the girls ask &quot;Ava&quot; to help add juicy resort gossip to their file, Rachel's not sure what to do...especially when one of the entries is a secret about Ellie. </p><p>Praise for award-winning Author Anna Staniszewski's The Dirt Diary series:<br>&quot;Staniszewski keeps the focus on comedy... Gentle fun laced with equally gentle wisdom.&quot; -Kirkus<br> &quot;Rachel's situation and feelings ring true...This realistic read is likely to appeal to middle schoolers and reluctant readers.&quot; -School Library Journal <br> &quot;I LOVED it...sweet, sensitive, and delicious!&quot; -- Erin Dionne, author of Models Don't Eat Chocolate Cookies</p>
