Aurelie LaFlamme’s Diary (Le journal d’Aurélie Laflamme)

This delightful coming-of-age charmer from Canada is based on a popular series of books for teens written by India Desjardins. Aurelie Laflamme feels alone in the world, especially since her father’s death five years ago. She wonders whether her father was perhaps an alien who left Earth to return to his own planet. In that case, Aurelie would be an alien, too, and that would explain many things: Why she feels different from others, especially her mother; why she can’t string two words together without making a mistake; and why boys really get on her nerves. Through the pages of her diary, Aurelie confides her joys and sorrows, successes and failures, loves and friendships, and tries to find her place in the world.
