My granddaughter, Megan Jewell,

introduced me to a book:

Wreck This Journal

by Keri Smith.

Megan heard about the book

from her friend on tumblr.

The journal was unlike any I'd ever seen.

I wasn't sure if I liked it...at first.

I'm the gal who prides herself in beautiful penmanship.

I've been known to throw away a paper

if there's one mistake on the page,

and begin again.

I'm pretty creative,

but was I ready for literary rebellion?

Megan is a creative,

out-of-the box thinker and dresser.

We disagree on some of her outfits.

We disagree on some of her music.

Actually - we disagree on MOST of her music.

We disagree on some of her book choices.

We disagree on lots of things.

She's 15.

I'm 65.

We both agree:

Wreck This Journal

is great fun.

Megan had fun

with the journal prompts/suggestions

of how to wreck the journal.

How would YOU freeze a page?

Would you...

spill coffee on a page on purpose?

Go ahead -

order a copy for your

creative,

curious,

and sometimes-rebellious

children

and

grandchildren.

Don't forget to order a copy

for yourself.

I dare you.

Give yourself permission to have some fun.

Oh!

Don't forget to order extra copies

for your kid's teacher,

and your OCD friends.

(Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)

Check out this review:

"We got this for an OCD friend.

We're considering it therapy.

It is the perfect tool for facilitating some creative messiness.

It literally pokes at every germophobe
and clean freak's bugaboos.
It is awesome.

In the very worst case,

you will succeed in severely irritating

one of your uptight friends/relatives.

In other words, the perfect gift.

And serious - all ages."
