Daphne’s diary begins on the first day of fourth grade. Her teacher mispronounces her name and so begins a whole list of disasters which commonly befall fourth graders. Daphne soon learns mistakes happen and anyone can make them. Resorting to teasing is not a good solution. Marissa Moss is known for her Amelia books which are in a notebook, handwritten style. Daphne’s diary is written on pink pages and contains many drawings and doodles. The plot is simple and The Name Game is a good transition from picture to beginning chapter books.
