Deep and Meaningful Diaries from Planet Janet

With a Mad Cow for a mother, an eccentric psychotherapist for a father, and a dweeble for a brother, thank goodness sixteen-year-old Janet Foley Bandry can confide in her diary. After all, she needs someone to talk to about entering the Dark Phase of her life. According to Janet, the DP involves dressing in black, listening to jazz when she can find the right radio station, and thinking about deep and meaningful things when she isn't thinking about boys, what color to dye her hair, or whether or not her nose piercing is infected.Despite the DP, Janet's spirits lift with the end of the school year and the start of summer. But instead of enjoying her vacation, she has to find a Job, and what's worse, her best friend, Disha, has turned into a Love Zombie, deserting Janet for a gorgeous Australian. With a year so full of Turmoil and Suffering, only a Creative and Artistic Soul (and one trusty diary) can keep Janet's planet from spinning out of orbit!
