Don't You Dare Read This, Mrs. Dunphrey

In this poignant audiobook, 16-year-old Tish Bonner navigates the complexities of adolescence while grappling with an unexpected upheaval in her life when her mother abandons her and her younger brother. Tasked with maintaining a journal for her high-school English class, Tish initially sees it as a pointless assignment, but soon it becomes her confidante through her loneliness and fear. With a promise from her teacher, Mrs. Dunphrey, to respect her boundaries, Tish pours out her heart, ultimately reaching a point where she feels she must share her struggles. Author Margaret Peterson Haddix delivers a compassionate narrative that explores the urgent theme of seeking help in times of crisis, amplified by Alyssa Bresnahan's engaging narration.
