"Dear Diary, You will never in a million years guess where Iâm going....Italy! In Europe!! Across the ocean!!! I even have a passport. Itâs really cool, except Iâm squinting my eyes in the photo, so I look like a dork. At least thatâs what my brother said. I call him Matt the Brat. You would too. Trust me...." When Melanie Martin heads to Italy on a family vacation with her art-obsessed mom, her grumpy dad, and her little brother, she has no idea what sheâs in for. As she discovers Michelangelo, Italian ice cream, and poetry, she also realizes how much her family means to her. Maybe she wonât trade them in after all.
