Don’t You Dare Read This Mrs. Dunphrey by Margaret Haddix - ESSENTIAL


Haddix, Margaret Peterson Don’t You Dare Read This Mrs. Dunphrey,  115 p. Simon and Schuster, 2012, 1996.  $9 (new paperback edition).  

Tish Bonner’s life is falling apart.  The only hints are in the journal that she writes twice weekly for Mrs. Dunphrey’s English class.  But Tish knows that if she writes “Do not read this”, Mrs. D will respect her privacy.  Until one day, Tish decides to take that extra step and trust her teacher with her pain and anguish.  

Wow!  Has it really been 16 years since this was first released.  This is still one of my go to books when helping a reluctant reader find that first spark.  I love the new cover on this edition.  Time for some new copies!!!  MS – ESSENTIAL.
