Tru Confessions (Book)

Tru Confessions is the first novel by children’s book author Janet Tashjian. It is published by Henry Holt and Company; the paperback is published by Square Fish, an imprint of Macmillan. It was the basis of a popular Disney TV movie with Clara Bryant and Shia LaBeouf. The book uses lists, illustrations, and diary entries in a format that’s friendly to reluctant readers. It has been translated into several languages.

Trudy is a twelve-year-old girl who wants two things: to have her own television show and to ‘cure’ her special needs brother.

“Readers will laugh their way through Tru’s poignant and clever take on everyday life.” — Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
