Can Dawn find a life in California to match the one she left behind in Connecticut—or has too much changed between her friends? At Vista, eighth graders are required to write personal journals about their experiences. Meet thirteen-year-old Dawn Schafer, the crunchy and health conscious member of the Baby-Sitters Club, who has returned to California to live with her father, stepmother, and brother. Dawn is thrilled to be reunited with her old friends Sunny, Maggie, and Jill. It’s not always easy to keep the group together, though—things are changing fast since they moved the eighth-grade classes into the high school. With new social demands and decisions to make, Dawn sees just how much her old friends have changed since she moved away. Or is she the one who is different now? It’s time for this independent girl to let go of the life she had across the country and figure out just where she belongs now. This ebook features an illustrated personal history of Ann M. Martin, including rare images from the author’s collection.    Dawn: Diary One is the 1st book in the California Diaries, which also includes Sunny: Diary One and Maggie: Diary One.
