The trio also discuss the importance of reflecting diversity in their characters and the exciting potential for a live-action Dork Diaries movie. But it's not just the Dork Diaries world that takes center stage. Jed also welcomes children's author Jordan Hayes, who shares the heartwarming story behind her new book, "The Magic Pen."
