Doreen Bussey uses a black notebook to doodle her experiences as her family moves, which means that she must attend a new school where she has no friends and does not seem to fit in. Moving is tough.

On the drive to their new home, her mother gives Dodo a blank notebook, which she uses to chronicle the move.
