From the Files of Madison Finn is a series of children's books by American writer Laura Dower. They are stories of a seventh grader's life that deal with boys, friends, enemies, and drama, connected with technology. They were first published between 2001 and 2006. [1]
This series is about a 12-year-old girl named Madison Finn, who lives in the fictional town of Far Hills in New York. Madison is the daughter of Francine and Jeffrey Finn, who are divorced. The series starts shortly after the events of the divorce. Madison is just like any other average 12-year-old girl. She worries about school, her best friends Aimee Gillespie and Fiona Waters, her crush on Hart Jones, and her constant rivalry with former friend, Ivy Daly. To get through it all, she writes files on her computer, which acts as a sort of diary. There are currently 22 books in the series, including three super specials, which are slightly longer than the usual books and deal with certain special events in Madison's life, such as her dad's remarriage. Madison can be mean towards Ivy (and vice versa) in some of the books, but in the end she is a nice, kind, caring, and lovable 12-year-old girl.
