Don't You Dare Read This, Mrs. Dunphrey is by Margaret Peterson Haddix. This realistic fiction story is written in journal format. It is the story of Tish who is supposed to write twice a week in her a journal for English class. The teacher, Mrs. Dunphrey, has said she will not read any entries marked "Do Not Read", a promise as a teacher I never would have made (FYI to my students, I read everything). Tish starts writing about her terrible issues at home, and we watch her life unravel through her journal entries. This a very good story and one that probably occurs more often than we would like to believe. Tish's struggles are so real, you really feel for her as a real person.
