An illustrated fictional diary of adolescence

Phoebe’s Diary draws on Phoebe Wahl’s teenage journals to build a fictionalized, illustrated record of high-school life. Its diary format gathers the contradictions named in its central portrait: confidence alongside insecurity, artistic ambition beside confusion, and new experiences entangled with older hurts. Friends, crushes, playlists, vintage clothing, drama students, and art kids fill out a personal world shaped by relationships and self-expression. Blending handwritten-diary intimacy with visual art and fiction, the book frames adolescence as a period of shifting identities, intense attachments, and experimentation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens interested in diary-format fiction about growing up
  • Readers who enjoy illustrated narratives and visual self-expression
  • Fans of stories about friendships, crushes, and creative school communities
