My Diary from the Edge of the World by Jodi Lynn Anderson (a birthday post)

Hello everyone! A good friend of mine had her birthday a couple of days ago, and in honor of her birthday, I would like to post about one of her favorite books. My Diary from the Edge of the World by Jodi Lynn Anderson was recommended to me by this friend over a year ago, and I enjoyed it! So today I will recommend it to you!

My Diary from the Edge of the World is written from the perspective of a girl named Gracie Lockwood, who lives in a world just like ours... except for the fact that humans aren't the only species in charge. Sasquatches roam about the woods, genies are always up for gambling, dragons migrate south for the winter, and so much more. But there are also dark clouds. Dark clouds that will take a person away to die.

When a dark cloud arrives at Gracie's house, they know that it is there to take away her sickly little brother Sam, and the Lockwood's will do anything to keep their family together. Even if it means journeying to The Extraordinary World. A place that may not even exist...


Gracie's father, Mr. Lockwood, is one of the few people who even believe that The Extraordinary World is out there. The Extraordinary World is said to be a place found on the edge of the map, where creatures like these do not exist. No Sasquatches, no genies, no dragons. But no dark clouds either.

As far as most believe, no one has made it to The Extraordinary World and back, and the Lockwood's know that if they do make it, they may never be able to return. But that is a risk that they are going to have to take.

This book is full of many twists and turns, and excitement around every corner! This is a story of the love a family has for each other, and how that love will take them to the ends of the earth!

Stay tuned for more awesomeness,

Greek Girl
