The 33 writings in this book are arranged under eight categories: Unforgettable Experiences, Book Reviews, Stories, Discussions, Diary Entries, Descriptions, Poetry and Miscellaneous.

Among the other pieces are a review on a Malorie Blackman book, a short story on a secret, a discussion on whether children should wear uniforms, a diary entry on an imaginary balloon ride, a poem on Pompeii and a recipe for friendship!
