I like finding something different and that’s what I got in Kellie’s Diary.What first surprised me was the way the story was told. Not just that it was presented in diary entries from a third grader. It was that it was in her printed words. It read slowly at first until I got used to the way she printed her letters, then it took off and I read it in about 20 minutes.The ending is rather abrupt, but knowing this is told in parts, I expected that. It’s going to be fun reading more of this series.You follow Kellie as she’s trapped in the school bathroom when the zombies attack. And follow her through her diary entries as she struggles to get home.The author did an excellent job of expressing the thoughts of a young girl. It never felt like an adult trying to write as Kellie. It rang true.I’m anxious to find out if Kellie finds her family? If she finds anyone, so she won’t be all alone.
