Pascualina Pre-teen Diary Lands On US Shores.

Adolescents in the United States can for the first time do what more than 1 million of their peers around the world do daily – share their lives with Pascualina, their award-winning interactive diary.

Since 1990, Chilean Paulina Monckeberg has authored, illustrated and published Pascualina. With more than 800,000 books sold annually, Pascualina has become the trusted companion to millions of young girls and pre-teens around the world.

Pascualina is not just a diary in the traditional sense. Pascualina is a companion and interactive guide for the journeys of young girls who are becoming adolescents. The book offers special advice to deal with the many emotions and challenges faced by pre-teens. The interactivity fosters positive emotional development and inner growth. Readers know that they are not alone, and that they can trust themselves and their friend, Pascualina.

The 2005 version of Pascualina includes 272 fully illustrated color pages, a bookmark, more than 350 stickers, four greeting cards, a plastic pocket page and much more. It also includes a detailed story describing the adventures of Pascualina’s family, friends and pets.

Pascualina readers also have an interactive website (http://www.pascualina.com) to further their enjoyment. Online, they can chat with friends, email inspirational virtual stickers (identical to the stickers found in the book) to friends and family, send letters to Pascualina and many more fun activities.
