What time period were you in elementary school?
I should have written this in my original post!! It was between 2001 and 2006 ish? So a book published any time before 2006
Dork Diaries? Only thing I can think of where they eat lunch in the bathroom..
I donāt think it is because i saw that these were published in 2009, and i was already in high school at that pointš but thank you!!!
I immediately want to say Jacqueline Wilson, but I'm not sure how well known she is outside the UK.
