Description
Coco’s diary carefully records her adventures, problems, and romances, written with a full of life wit and a droll humorousness. Whether sneaking out to a dance hall in her mother’s clothes or getting in trouble for telling an off-color joke, Coco and her escapades will captivate and delight preteen readers in addition to their mothers and grandmothers.
Peg Meier’s introduction describes St. Paul life in the 1920s and provides context for the privileged world that Coco inhabits, at the same time as an afterword tells what happens to Coco as an adult—and reveals surprises about one of the crucial other characters in the diary.
