Lisa Atwood tried keeping a diary once, but it wasn't a success. Why would she want to write in a book when she can tell her Saddle Club friends, Stevie Lake and Carole Hanson, everything? But then Lisa realises that there are times when she needs a private place to record her thoughts. For example, why do people still call her a beginning rider when she's come such a long way? And why can't Stevie and Carole understand her desire to be the very best at everything she does, even school? And why is her mother always driving her crazy, trying to make her into a perfect lady? Sometimes even Lisa's best friends don't get how frustrating all that can be.
And then there are the good things, like the excitement Lisa feels when she masters a new riding skill or does well on a test. Those are memories she wants to keep forever. Maybe a diary is a good idea after all.
This book covers events in The Saddle Club books 23 through 29.
