The Diary of Janie Ray: Books 1-5!

This paperback contains the first five adventures of The Diary of Janie Ray (together over 270 five star ratings on Goodreads!) - in one exciting volume! 


But then really strange things started happening. Like last week, my best friend Sheila and I were hanging out in our clubhouse, drinking lemonade and trying to figure out what to do about Marcia the Snob (who literally thinks she's queen of the fifth grade and seems to specialize in making my life miserable...), when we suddenly noticed a weird inscription on this old medallion I found when I was little. The crazy part is, it was written in a secret code Sheila and I made up for our clubhouse JUST THIS YEAR!! At first we figured someone was playing some kind of a trick on us. But then, before we realized what was happening, we ended up in the forest with an exceedingly odd girl who kept insisting the year was 1739.

Let's just say my life isn't so boring anymore. And that's an understatement.

The Impossible Medallion and The Day My Mom Got Grounded:

Eleven year old Janie Ray can't believe it's only been a few weeks since she first discovered the mysterious inscription on her old medallion. But things have already started changing. For the better.

For one thing, Janie isn't so sure her mother doesn't get her anymore. I mean, once you've seen your mom get grounded, you've got to assume she understands something about being a kid. And even RJ, Janie's little brother, isn't getting on her nerves as much as he used to. Let's just say time travel makes it, er, easier not to sweat the small stuff.

But some things will never change. Like MTS, AKA Marcia the Snob, who goes out of her way to make Janie's life miserable. And school, which is still... you know - school.

Join Janie and her BFF Sheila as they explore the hidden mysteries of the medallion, while trying to survive the mad jungle that is fifth grade.

A Star is Born:

Kellie Allen is the most unpopular girl in Janie Ray's fifth grade class. She doesn't have any friends, and she brings sardine sandwiches for lunch! Janie can't believe her rotten luck when she gets stuck with Kellie as her science project partner. But she soon realizes that Kellie isn't as weird as she seems. And she has the best singing voice Janie has ever heard!

Can Janie get the other kids to see Kellie for who she really is? And will she be able to use the medallion to help Kellie change her luck in school?

A Letter to my Fifth Grade Self:

Things are going pretty well for Janie. Between hanging out with Sheila, Kellie and Alexis and trying to get her homework done, she barely has time to think about the medallion. And even MTS - otherwise known as Marcia the Snob - seems to be minding her own business.

But all that changes one day, when Janie gets a mysterious note from the future.

Baking with Frenemies:

Travelling through time is strange enough, but now something even stranger has happened - MTS wants to be Janie's friend! Or does she?

With the fifth grade baking contest coming up, and Kellie's Starbright Showdown just around the corner, Janie barely has time to write in her diary. And as if all that weren't enough, Janie and Sheila realize it's time to find Grandpa Charlie's key and unlock the mysteries it seeks to protect.

Join Janie as she tries to figure out how to deal with Marcia, while discovering what it truly means to be Bearer of the Medallion.
