The Completely Secret Diary of Chanda Mensah, Aged 13¾

A diary nobody was supposed to read. A year nobody could have predicted.

Chanda Mensah is 13¾, wants to become a Legend this year, and has a family with two churches' worth of opinion — a boring, beloved real pastor, and a shiny young "prophet" who promises brand-new cars in exchange for "seed money." There's a half-sister's suspicious new boyfriend, a best friend who's the cleverest person Chanda knows and won't say where he lives, and an old woman on Mum's side of the family the aunties go quiet about.

Funny, warm, and honest about the parts most diaries leave out — this is the completely secret, completely true account of the year everything changed.

For readers aged 9–13.
