Diary of Jane Burrasca: The Walkman Files

She wanted a phone. She got a Walkman. And that’s when the most chaotic diary ever begins.

For her tenth birthday, Jane is hoping for a smartphone. Instead, she receives a Walkman—a voice recorder straight out of her parents’ childhood. After the initial disappointment, Jane realizes that this strange device can become her personal diary, recording every moment of her life… and even secret conversations! Between school disasters, trouble out and about, and meddling in her sister’s life, Jane recounts her days with humor and honesty. With her unpredictable, mischievous, and wildly spirited personality, she exposes the contradictions and hypocrisies of the adult world—just like her famous predecessor, Gian Burrasca.

• A fresh take on the diary format, blending humor and mystery.
• An unforgettable chaotic heroine who feels strikingly real.
