Erin's Diary: An Official Derry Girls Book Hardback

Dear Reader,It is a pleasure to introduce you to this, my memoirs, written and edited by me, Erin Quinn. My friend Clare gave me this notebook for Christmas, and I think I'm going to use it as a diary.

I mean, all the great writers kept diaries and it seems a bit shameful that I've never actually managed it before. But this year is different. These are extraordinary times in Derry - historically, politically and culturally and I suspect that it may soon become clear that I'm ... well, the voice of a generation. After all, writing isn't a choice. It's a calling. I hope, dear Reader, that you enjoy, cherish and value my insights. To get a fringe or not to get a fringe?Pros: will look FrenchCons: might go frizzy'Erin is sixteen and wishes she had a boyfriend and a life.

Nothing else really happens... It's boring.' Orla McCool
