Bookroo's summary

Arthur stumbles upon Sue Ellen's lost diary, sparking wild imaginations among his friends about its contents. As they worry about secrets being exposed, Arthur faces a moral dilemma: should he read it or return it unread? With friendships on the line, Arthur must decide if curiosity will get the better of him or if he'll do the right thing. Will he protect Sue Ellen's privacy, or will temptation lead to unexpected consequences? Dive into this adventure where trust and integrity are put to the test.

From the publisher

When Sue Ellen loses her diary at the library, Arthur and his friends imagine what she has written about them in her private book - and worry about what will happen if the diary falls into the wrong hands. Luckily, Arthur is the one who finds it…but will he do the right thing and return it, unread, to Sue Ellen?
