Snyder, Carol

IL 5-8
ISBN 0425099679 
Thirteen year old Karen is starting to bicker with her 11 year old sister and is getting into trouble with Mom for it. She's convinced if she writes notes to herself about what it's like to be 13 she'll remember when she's a mother of a teenager. Well, her mom hands her a diary from her 11th year and Karen realizes her mom has had as many embarrassing moments as she has. If you can identify with gathering courage to call a boy, getting called to the principal's office for throwing snow balls or inviting kid to a party you're parents haven't heard about yet, you'll probably enjoy this "Memo to Myself"

SUBJECTS:     Mothers and daughters -- Fiction.
