Nichole Flannel. That would be me. Black hair, green eyes, pale as a bleached shirt. Mom looks just about the same, just she’s got blue eyes. Dad’s got brown hair and green eyes, and he’s not quite so pale.

As the title of this book suggests, you will learn all my secrets in this book. Except one... That’s private.

Anyway.

My favorite color happens to also be green, like the color of pickles.

Have I mentioned I like pickles?
