This year, the secrets are coming out. Ooh, 8th grade is gonna be so juicy!
Darla Decker is still shaking from a rough year of seventh grade. Her parents barely speak to each other, her best friend Reggie is dating her lifelong crush, and Nate Young is acting like he's allergic to the word boyfriend.
Troubles aside, Darla is resolved to be on her best behavior and kick off eighth grade with a smile... but even the straightest paths have obstacles.
Darla's about to learn that the people she knows best can hide the most mind-blowing secrets. Will she show maturity in the face of turmoil? Can she accept the changes rippling through her life? Only time and Darla's final days in Fairmount Middle School will tell.
What I like about this series is the personal way it relates the female coming-of-age experience, something of a mystery for male readers, but worth looking into for any guy who wants a closer understanding of the women in their life. Ron Edison
EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a frank and funny look at the path to adulthood, in the fourth book of the Darla Decker Diaries series, which takes us on a journey of love, loss, and the nitty-gritty of growing up as seen through Darla Decker's eyes.
If you are looking for an entertaining read, this is the one. If you haven't read the rest of the series, you should go back and start with book one because for me, it has been a pleasure to watch these characters grow up and I am certainly looking forward to more installments. Trust me, this is the kind of book where, if you had access to a time machine you would want to take the books back in time and give them to the childhood version of yourself. Then, many years later, when they start making Darla Decker movies, you can tell everyone about how you've been hanging out with Darla since you were a kid yourself. C. Clark, Author
