In "Don't You Dare Read This, Mrs. Dunphrey," the story revolves around a middle school girl named Tish who is navigating the challenges of adolescence while keeping a significant secret. As she journals to vent her frustrations and experiences, her writing becomes a sanctuary where she expresses her thoughts about her turbulent home life and her feelings about her classmates. Tish's struggles with identity, family issues, and friendships unfold through her honest and often raw reflections. The narrative explores themes of vulnerability, resilience, and the importance of self-expression, ultimately highlighting the power of writing as a means of coping.
