Oh Boy, Mallory (Mallory (Darby Creek))
Laurie Friedman is the author of the popular Mallory series, as well as many award-winning picture books including Ruby Valentine Saves the Day, I'm Not Afraid of This Haunted House, Thanksgiving Rules, and Back-to-School Rules. Ms. Friedman says she kept a diary when she was Mallory's age, and just like her character, two of her favorite topics to write about were best friends and boyfriends.
