Yes, it's diary-style, which is normally a horrible cop-out, but that's what kept me turning the pages. It's not that the little girl had much to report in each entry, but it was the impression that she was likely an unreliable narrator. I had to read more because I just wasn't sure I should believe her. (It makes me think that Twilight could have been a decent story if, from the beginning, the reader was nudged into thinking that Bella was delusional. Maybe that's what Walton was going for in Among Others, although I read in an interview that the unreliable narrator ruse was not intentional. Shame.)
