FromΒ Wall Street JournalΒ bestselling author Devney Perry comes a new story in her Maysen Jar seriesβ¦
Dear Diary,
My dad needs a girlfriend, and Iβve already picked her out.
Miss Adler would be perfect for him, right? Sheβs super pretty. She has the best smile and she gives the best hugs. And sheβs, like, the most amazing teacher in the world.
Dad is my hero, but I can tell heβs lonely. He tries to hide it from me, but sometimes at night, when he thinks Iβm asleep, Iβll sneak downstairs and find him sitting on the couch, staring at nothing. Heβs never had a girlfriend, not since the divorce. Mom messed him up. Sheβs good at that.
Heβs smart and funny, but he doesnβt laugh enough. Iβve seen other moms at school check him out so I guess heβs handsome. (Eww.) And he makes up the best nicknames. He calls me Dandelion. I bet heβd give Miss Adler an awesome nickname too.
They’re perfect for each other. I just know it. Now I only have to show them Iβm right.
Wish me luck.
