Stolen Diary by Kathryn Lane

Stolen Diary by Kathryn Lane.

Fiction (Coming Of Age).

Stolen Diary explores the challenges that Jasmin, a gifted yet socially awkward child, faces growing up with a disengaged mother. Her grandfather unwittingly creates further tension between Jasmin and her mother by encouraging her genius.

Unable to deal with her mother’s rejection, Jasmin escapes into a world of her own, a world of science and music, until she suspects family secrets are being kept from her. She steals her mother’s diary in hopes of finding clues to uncover the truth. When she fails to detect any, she hides the diary, creating a secret of her own that brings unforeseen and fateful consequences.

When a kidnapping threat becomes reality, Jasmin’s world is altered. The upheaval exposes the roots of her mother’s disdain and provides the clues Jasmin must pursue if she is to unravel the family secrets.

Review by DT: 5.0 out of 5 Stars. Another good book by Kathryn Lane Hurt. Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2023. Verified Purchase. Well written, good story.

Review by Jann Van Dyke: 5.0 out of 5 Stars. A Different Kind of Book from Kathryn. Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2023. Verified Purchase. Having only read Kathryn’s Nikki Garcia series, I was pleasantly surprised by Stolen Diary! Although it was also a mystery of sorts, it had a different feel to it. Kathryn captured the innocence of a young girl and her view of the world. When the lead character travels to Princeton, New Jersey I was taken back to my youth growing up there and ice skating on Stoney Brook! Stolen Diary certainly kept my interest and I recommend it to teen readers, as well as adults!

Review by Amazon Customer: 5.0 out of 5 Stars. I love a good “page turner”! This book is hard to put down! Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2023. Verified Purchase. This is my favorite Kathryn Lane novel, so far! you are taken on a journey from a luxurious estate in Mexico to Princeton University with a quick trip to beautiful Niagara, Canada. The suspense builds along the way and gives you a surprise ending!

Review by Jenifer Owens: 5.0 out of 5 Stars. Fantastic Book! Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2023. Verified Purchase. Stolen Diary us an excellent read! It has a little bit of everything; intrigue, romance, and some education too. Once I started, I couldn’t put it down until I had finished. Can’t wait for Kathryn’s next book

Review by Kay: 5.0 out of 5 Stars. A good read. Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2023. Verified Purchase. This is an excellent mystery. So many twists and turns, just when I thought I had it figured it out, another turn. The only objection was too many technical parts that I had to skip over to get back to the plot. Highly recommend this book and others by Kathryn Lane

Review by Ruth Glover: 5.0 out of 5 Stars. Amazing Creative! Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2023. You need to get this book if you have a child who loves math and science. The lead character is an unloved genius with a love for cats and technology. The author stunned me with the detail and surprises in the Stolen Diary. I loved the setting in Mexico, as it reminded me of when I visited Mexico as a child. The characters were unusual and fascinating. The child’s mother was caustic and unkind, yet you had to keep reading to uncover the reasons. You’ll wonder throughout the book how the puzzle will end.
