NEXT BEST READ 2025 - EDITORIAL REVIEW
4.5/5 – Erin’s Journal: 6th-Grade Big Project by Nathalie Iseli-Chan
Fresh, funny, and emotionally layered, Erin’s Journal delivers an honest and engaging portrayal of adoption through the eyes of an 11-year-old girl navigating sixth grade. Written in a charming diary format, the story captures Erin’s unique voice—equal parts witty, observant, and wise beyond her years—as she tackles everything from school drama to deeper reflections on identity, belonging, and the complexity of her adoption journey.
The book excels in balancing serious emotional topics with accessible humor and authenticity. Erin’s reactions to classmates’ insensitive questions feel true to life, and her gradual transformation into a confident advocate for herself and others is deeply empowering. The relationship between Erin and her adoptive parents is heartwarming and realistic, grounded in mutual respect and open communication.
What truly stands out is the educational value woven into the narrative. Without ever becoming preachy, the story gently corrects outdated adoption language and explores the emotional nuance behind concepts like “real” parents, cultural belonging, and identity formation. The sections where Erin prepares for her school project are particularly moving, serving as both personal catharsis and public education.
While some journal entries repeat thematic ideas, the overall arc remains strong and touching. It’s a meaningful, voice-driven story that will resonate with young readers—especially adoptees—and spark much-needed conversations in homes and classrooms."
Les Pensées d'Erin - Mon Projet de 6e Année
Une fille et son project pour changer pour voir l'adoption autrement
Drôle, touchant et instructif, Le journal d’Erin : le grand projet de 6e année explore les émotions, les découvertes et les questions liées au fait de grandir dans l’adoption. À travers les yeux d’une préadolescente, il offre aussi un regard actuel sur les différents parcours adoptifs.
Une lecture incontournable pour les préadolescents et les adolescents, adoptés ou non, ainsi que pour toute personne souhaitant mieux comprendre l’adoption de l’intérieur.
