Bookroo's summary

Rachel's Saturdays are now spent cleaning toilets to repay a debt, but her new job reveals more than grime. As she discovers secrets of the popular kids, her diary becomes a treasure trove of gossip. When her crush offers money for spying, Rachel faces a dilemma: betray trust for cash or keep her hands clean? With her reputation and friendships on the line, Rachel must navigate the murky waters of middle school drama. Will she risk it all for a chance at popularity, or will she find a way to stay true to herself?

From the publisher

The first book in Anna Staniszewski’s award-winning YA best selling book series: The Dirt Diaries!A hilarious tale about the weight of responsibility that comes from a secret-filled diary…Rachel can’t believe she has to give up her Saturdays to scrubbing other people’s toilets. So. Gross. But she kinda, sorta stole $287.22 from her college fund that she’s got to pay back ASAP or her mom will ground her for life. Which is even worse than working for her mother’s new cleaning business. Maybe. After all, becoming a maid is definitely not going to help her already loserish reputation.But Rachel picks up more than smelly socks on the job. As maid to some of the most popular kids in school, Rachel suddenly has all the dirt on the 8th grade in-crowd. Her formerly boring diary is now filled with juicy secrets. And when her crush offers to pay her to spy on his girlfriend, Rachel has to decide if she’s willing to get her hands dirty…”Holy fried onion rings! Fun from beginning to end.”–Wendy Mass, New York Times bestselling author of 11 Birthdays and The CandymakersThe Dirt Diaries Series is the perfect…book series for girls aged 9-12book series for middle school girlsdiary book series for reluctant readerspreteen gift for girls
