Isabel: My Journal

Read Isabel’s Journal to discover her story (and her twin’s) set in the 1990’s! This title is a part of American Girl’s exciting new series featuring the diaries and journals of girls throughout history!

Isabel Hoffman is 9 years old and lives in Seattle, Washington. This is her journal from December 1999, written mostly in pink glittery gel pen. Isabel learns that sometimes friendships change, that she can always count on her twin sister Nicki, and that being yourself is the best person to be.

Julia DeVillers is six minutes younger than her twin sister, and one inch taller. She and her twin, Jennifer Roy, wrote the bestselling Trading Faces series, about twins who trade places. Another one of Julia’s books was turned into the Disney Channel movie Read It and Weep.
