Plot

Eighteen-year-old Jignyeo is a problem student. Brazenly, she breaks into the karaoke bar of the old man next door to help herself to pocket money, and blackmails her tutor, who has lied about his academic background, into letting her skip class. Her two best friends are Yeonju, an aspiring model, and Minjeong, a student with consistently top grades. After receiving a final warning from the headmaster, Jignyeo attempts to avoid further trouble during the last two years of school life.

2008년에 출간된 전아리의 장편소설이다. 제2회 세계청소년문학상을 수상하였다. 이 작품은 사고뭉치 여고생이 자신의 정체성을 찾으며 성장해가는 과정을 다뤘다. 특별한 사건이 전개되는 것은 아니지만 청소년 특유의 감성과 고민이 유쾌한 문체로 묘사되고 있다는 평가를 받는다.

Diary of Jignyeo by Jeon A-ri was published in 2008. The novel won the World Youth Literary Award. It tells the coming-of-age story of a high school girl and troublemaker searching for her true identity. Though there is not much in the way of plot development, the novel nevertheless received praise for its charming descriptions of teenage angst.
