Lucy doesn't want to spend the coming months on Catalina Island, but when she stumbles across an old diary, things look up. Ages 11-14.

Twelve-year-old Lucy and Serena agree to read one entry a week from their secret diary and then try to act it out.

Walking home from the beach, Lucy and Serena come upon a little dog that is hurt and lost-and has no ID tags. Lucy’s living in a “no dogs allowed” cottage, and Serena’s dad is allergic. But they can’t leave the poor thing where it is! So the girls devise a temporary scheme...that could mean trouble.

Friends Lucy and Serena help each other face their fears about being judged by others, and Lucy receives additional guidance from the Bible as well.

Lucy and Serena are off to camp for a week of swimming, kayaking, and new friends. But when Lucy discovers a shocking secret about one camper, she faces a tough choice. Telling the secret would betray a trust, but keeping it to herself could alienate her new friends.

Lucy and Serena look for a way to save the financially-strapped Double C horse ranch and its Country Cousins program for child riders.

When her friends on Catalina Island prepare for the annual tandem bicycle ride, Lucy finds herself wishing more than ever for a sister of her own.
