Summary: very inspiring role model characters, yet fun and realistic
Review: This is without a doubt the best book for children I have ever read. I read it the first time being 14 year old and I still enjoy it (I am 44 now). The characters of this journal are 'normal' (rather than 'idealistic'), yet of the high moral standard. It encompasses very current issues: wealth, poverty, immigration, moral character during war, family integration, etc. etc.
