I hope you can locate the key! If my memory of dates is accurate, Adrian Mole came out a few years earlier than Penny Pollard. I remember reading Adrian Mole when we were in UK in 1981-82.

I was in grade three when I read the first one, my Dad was a VP and he brought it home from his school library - which makes me realise how lucky I was to have regular State Library visits (in Hobart), a FANTASTIC school library with the world's best teacher-librarian, and my Dad's school libraries too. Library heaven. I adore everything Robin Klein has written, when she is funny and when she is serious (but especially when she is both). It's so tragic that she can't write anymore. I LOVE your diary. Oh yes, Penny Pollard – *love*.

I LOVE your diary.

Not sure if you remember, but I was completely crazy for Penny Pollard for a few years, even have some of the collection in hardback.

Penny Pollard. Again you have taken me back to my primary school years of note-writing, crush graffiti and locked diaries! thank you. :) This would have to be up there with Adrian Mole's diaries. Were they published at the same time?? ahhhh… Penny Pollard. Again you have taken me back to my primary school years of note-writing, crush graffiti and locked diaries! thank you. :)
