Features & Highlights

  • Everyone's favorite Mackerel Middle-Schooler, Jamie Kelly, is back with another hilarious, candid (and sometimes not-so-nice) diary!
  • There's a new girl in at Mackerel Middle School.Colette is friendly, fabulous, smart, totally talented, and an all-around amazing individual. She is more brilliantly diabolical than Isabella, as blindly loyal as Stinker, and even harder-to-resist than Angeline. It's enough to make Jamie throw up a little. And Jamie just can't help but wonder: Is it humanly possible for a girl to be more perfectly perfect than the most perfect girl in the world?

Dear Dumb Diary ( the problem with here is that it's where i'm from) no.6

The book Dear Dumb Diary (the problem with here is that it's where I'm from) is an exciting, hilarious, and easy laugh. It's exciting because you get experience reading Jamie Kelly journal, and the best part is that Jamie Kelly is a teenager and everybody wants to know what juicy stuff teenagers are putting in their journals. Except all that she writes about is silly stuff about people at school, her dog that farts a lot, and the people she secretly very much dislikes. What's so hilarious about Dumb Diary? The hilarious thing about Dumb Diary is the illustrations Jamie creates. They are on what she is talking about in that entree; it's so funny to see to see how things she writes about look. This book is such and easy laugh because the little stories she creates can make laugh so hard you could pee in your pants. She also has the talent to make these characters look so silly. This book was a very funny book and I enjoyed this book a lot.

Another funny Dumb Diary book

My 11 year old loves these books. I've lost count how many times she has disolved into hysterical laughter over the memoirs of middle schooler Jamie Kelly. They are pretty amusing if you're 11. My only caution is that this book continues with the main character's jealousy of her rival Angeline. As a parent, I don't like the girl hating girl because she's beautiful and popular theme, but my daughter thinks it's hilarious. Just my take on it.

This series is popular but I believe American Girl books ...

This series is popular but I believe American Girl books and others are of much greater quality for our young readers. These are insulting and snotty, says my ten year old.
