Why did I pick this book: I participated in the blog tour hosted by CBB Book Promotions. (I received a copy of this book for review purposes.)

Did I enjoy this book: I did enjoy this book. I read it every free chance I had and finished it in less than a day. I did not want to put it down.

Diary of a Dancing Drama Queen is a fun little read that I think a lot of fourth through sixth grade girls can relate to. Harriet is like most young girls. She thinks she is not pretty, not coordinated, and the loser of her grade. Harriet does have friends and ends up being friends with someone she thought would never be her friend.

Harriet’s mother and father are great. They are normal parents despite what Harriet thinks. The dance classes were fun to read about. I enjoyed Harriet’s drawings throughout her diary. Diary of a Dancing Drama Queen ended in a cliffhanger and I definitely want to read the next book in this series.

Would I recommend it: I would recommend it to the younger crowd.

Will I read it again: I will probably reread it again when it is time for my daughter to read it.

About the book: Harriet Hughes is not your typical 12 year old girl. She does not like pink and she is not what you would call breathtakingly beautiful. Harriet considers herself decidedly average; her sister Abigail on the other hand is very pretty and good at everything.  Join Harriet as she makes her way through middle school. In diary of a dancing drama queen Harriet has to face the embarrassment of a dance class after her mother enrols her and her sister at Madam Zangara’s School of Dance. She is not exactly the best dancer in the world and when the most popular girl in school, Melanie joins the dance class, it marks the start of a fun filled adventure that includes a birthday party, a talent show and a school dance. Will she get asked to the dance by her biggest crush, Oliver Russel? Harriet writes about family, friends, school and boys in a fresh, young voice and the sketches in her diary (secret ramblings) add a touch of whimsy. This funny book is sure to be a hit with 8-12 year old girls.
