Summary of the unit.
Now, Isadora is 13 years old, and she has decided to write about her life.
In this part of the encyclopedia, she talks about different events that
happen to make her feel thousands of emotions: some goods, others
bad and most of them are confusing.
F
amily is a main topic in this encyclopedia. In this section, Isadora
talks about her mother, Jenna Martin, who is a doctor and a
special mother. Isadora says that she is good for a board game
and is magical with Seb. Isadora is glad that Jenna is her mom. In her
family is Hortense, a cat that hates to take a bath. Isadora talks about of
“talent” in the family: the famous Haywire. It’s the name of Lex’s Band.
Lex and a group of boys participate in parties and talents’ shows, but

B
est friend forever: Freddie Blue. Now, in this section, Isadora
talks about some differences between them. One day, Isadora
went to Freddie’s house, but she did not play attention to her, as
on other occasions, and it hurts her feelings. Then Freddie went to visit
to Isadora’s house, but she was not happy to see her. For Isadora,
Freddie had other friend: Stella, her enemy.
L
ove is part of the conflict of this section. It all started with an
event in the Ice Cream Shop. Really the Ice cream’s entry isn’t
about ice cream, it’s about kissing. When Isadora went to buy ice
cream in the shop, she saw a Kai (blue-Haired boy in next door) outside
the shop. He was talking with girls, including Stella Wilson-Rawley (a
bullies). Kay kissed to Isadora on the mouth, causing a whirlwind of
feelings in her. She didn’t have time to get prepared. She was in shock.
Then, he kissed her again in the store of the mall. Obviously, Isadora
was worried about Freddies would think, and her own feeling for him.
However, Kai was not her first kiss. She talks about Austin Janowicky and
her first kiss in the Freddie’s birthday party. But the Kai’s topic will be
the most interesting topic in the followings entries.
F
eelings are an important part of the adolescence. A dangerous
feeling in this section is jealousy. Isadora says that this is a sickly
green feeling. Isadora says that it is the worst feeling in the world.
Now, she feels jealous because she knows that Freddie loves to Kai, the
boy who kissed her in the ice cream shop. This feeling causes conflicts
between the relationship of these friends. For the reader, the first
possible conflict that get to unbalance the good friendship. Isadora
