Whoever you are, whatever your name is, if—by the greatest of misfortunes—you’ve stumbled upon this notebook, immediately chuck it as far away as you possibly can or . . . put it back where it belongs. If you refuse to obey this command, my punishment will be TERRIBLE: your head will become covered with pigeon turds, your eyebrows will become three times thicker, snakes will burst from your mouth, your toes will morph into spinach, and you’ll feel like you have to throw up for the rest of your life!
This is your last chance to avoid becoming a horrifying monster! Never, under any circumstances, turn this page. Dispose of this journal (in a manner so that its proper owner can find it) or prepare yourself for the darkest hours of your miserable life!
(Um . . . sorry, Mom, if you find this while cleaning my room. . . . love you!)
a teen and (future) hero isn’t very relaxing.
home, the prank calls, Ramoupoulos’s PE class, and the anxiety over Conrad’s visit—you know, my English exchange student with the mullet? This little intro to middle school really stressed me out. By the end of June, I was totally exhausted . . . and I still haven’t quite recovered. I think we should alternate between one year of school and one year of vacation, don’t you?

events of my summer break . . . and I have a lot to tell you.
For starters, after the end-of-the-year party, that old slug Tom and I hung out for a bit. He tried to teach me some graffiti tricks, but I have to admit I’m a lot better at writing.
On the wall of the secret passage, Tom wrote: M + T = blood brothers.
He really wanted us to leave our mark before we went on vacation.
In July, the streets started to empty out. You could feel the mass exodus from the big cities toward the ocean beaches. Tom and I weren’t so lucky. He took the train to the Basque country, in the south of France, and I headed west toward Brittany. The day before we left, we made sure our time capsule was still safe in its hiding place, buried in the vacant lot.
I was born on August fifth. You couldn’t pick a worse date—in the middle of summer vacation, when no one’s around to celebrate your b-day! But the worst part is that my birthday is right after Marion’s.
The very next day!
As in, hers is the day before! As in, just before mine! Get the picture? In case you forgot,
Marion is my older sister, and she is still so annoyyyyyying!
So my sister’s birthday is the fourth and mine is the fifth. I have no idea how my parents could have done such a thing to me, but the result: total disaster. I’m always second . . . I’m sure I’ve been cursed!
Anyway, I shouted with joy when I unwrapped
Zombieland Anthology: 1 and 2.
It’s a guidebook to the video game that gives you all the tricks to beat the levels, survive every world, and save Earth!
WHAT A PEST! Honestly! At the end-of-the-year party I’d organized, I was within an inch of kissing Naïs when suddenly my sister blasted her favorite singer, Ben Didji.
And of course when I complained the next day that this wasn’t exactly the deal I’d made with Marion (who’d sworn to handle all the music HERSELF), my parents defended their little darling Lili.
I’ve been calling Lisa
Little Diaper
because she’s totally my parents’ baby.
I wound up just going to sleep. But I woke up to a message over the loud speaker:
no clue what to do with myself. I looked around for Lisa: she’d disappeared. I was furious!
I wanted to race to
