The Diary of Janie Ray

Do you believe in time travel? Yeah, I don't blame you - neither did I...

Hi! My name is Janie Ray, and I'm 11 years old. When I first got this diary from my mom, I didn't think I'd have all that much to write about. I mean, let's face it - fifth grade isn't exactly the most exciting thing in the world.

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, 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 quite so boring anymore. And that's an understatement.

A fast-paced, exciting adventure perfect for ages eight to 12!

Series description:

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, a.k.a. 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.
