Old Schoolhouse Magazine's Best Children's Book for 2013. True Story! . . . These pages from EJ Payne's diary will have you ROTFL as you witness her spunky personality and well-meant-but-often-misunderstood antics. You'll fall in love with this first release in the Diary of a Real Payne series as EJ records her thoughts and feelings about living in little old Spooner, Wisconsin ( soze! ), eventually leaving her hometown to do big things when she's all grown up ( oh glorious day! ), and having to star in the role of lead angel in the Vine Street Christmas pageant ( are you kidding me? ). This colossal-fun series is overflowing with humor and memorable life lessons. Watch for Book 2 - Church Camp Chaos in March 2014!
