This Is Not The Greatest Book Ever!

In “This Is Not The Greatest Book Ever!” Ava Maria Ochoa, recruited by her 10 year old persona “Ava Marie Stardust,” offers a candid glimpse into her pre-teen years through real diary entries penned from ages 10 to 12. Originally inspired by a childhood project with a friend—an ambitious self-help book called “The Greatest Book Ever!” now left unfinished—this memoir captures the essence of youthful aspirations and the evolving nature of friendship and young love. With humor and honesty, Ochoa and Stardust revisit their past, including the never-completed book and their awkward, heartfelt experiences.
