Page 1 is a picture of Misfortune with her full name underneath.

Page 2- *I like to play a lot with my toys. I like to talk to them because it's fun.*

Page 3- *Hello diary. At school, I drew and at home I was at my hiding spot talking to Bubsy and I heard it. I saw a fox walking outside my room. He's called Benjamin. I think.*

Page 3 is a drawing of Benjamin.

Page 4- *Hello diary. My dad lied to me again. Not going to the park today. I made myself pretty but he doesn't care. I feel sad, I cried but told Mommy I'm ok. I'm afraid if I tell her I'm sad, she'll be angry.*

Page 5- *Sometimes, I don't know how to feel. Nobody is teaching me how to feel. I wish in school they'd teach us where feelings come from but for reals. No fairytales!*

Page 6- *Hello diary! Is it ok to have feelings for a fox? ''fundy''*

Page 7- *Benjamin came to visit when I was playing outside and we looked at each other and my heart felt warm and like if I was about to vomit but in a good way. Then he ran away because my Mommy shouted that dinner was ready.*

Page 8- *Hello diary! My Daddy hit Mommy. Is that supposed to be normal? Should I hit people I love? It doesn't feel right.*

Page 9- *Maybe Daddy can't see he's hurting me too when he hits Mommy. I promise I will never be like my Daddy. I played today that I took a plane to Japan and saw interesting things. I know about Japan because my friend is Japanese. He likes sushi.*

Page 10- *My Japanese friend speaks Japanese. That's very problematic when we want to talk! It's hard to understand each other; it's confusing. But I like him. He has a pair of sweet boots and a cowboy hat. His name is Hiro and he's a ghost. I drew him a picture but I never gave it to him.*

Page 11 is a drawing of Misfortune and Hiro.

Page 12- *Hello diary. Look, I have glitter from school. It's super shiny and we use it to make Christmas cards. I think Christmas cards are pretty, but I don't believe Santa is for reals.*

Page 13- *If a man could give everyone a gift, why can't he give poor people water and food! I saw a TV-show with people from other countries having nothing to eat. Anyway, I don't believe Santa is real. But the glitter is amazing! It makes me think that all that makes me sad and angry, can be sprinkled with sparkle to look prettier. That makes me a little less sad.*

Page 14- *Hello diary! I went picking tomatoes with my Grandma! It smelled so nice. I saw butterflies, some other insects too, I ate two tomatoes and then I was stuffed.*

Page 15- *Hello diary! I was riding my tricycle, we don't have money for the bicycle, and I looked straight in the sun. And I started crying because it hurt my eyes. My Mommy said that one should not look directly at it.*

Page 16- *Hello diary. It was fun today, because I was at the lake and I saw birds flying and also fish in the water. I felt like warm water came near my bottom.*

Page 17- *Hello diary! How are you? I'm good too. I have to do homework, but I can't stop thinking about Benjamin.*

Page 18 has a picture of a young Misfortune. *I found a picture of me when I was younger! Time goes fast. The cake looks yummy.*

Page 19 has a drawing of Misfortune in a fox onesie. *Halloween costume ideas: Little Lady Fox.*
