This book will get you on the floor laughing in no time!! Filled with jokes, pranks, and much more, Dear Dumb diary 2 will take you on a wild adventure you'll never forget!!

I have always been picky about what books i read. This is one of the few books that I like to read. I was laughing the whole time. This is a hilous book and I recomed it( even to adults ). You will not want to put it down.

Kids have you heard of the book DEAR DUMB DIARY? Well if you haven't, this book is funny. Also it is interesting because the girls in a middle school fall in love with Hudson, the cute guy in the school. Even though I think he looks ugly in the picture of him on page 7 of the book.
Three girls decide to give another girl a much needed makeover. This is a part of the book I mostly enjoyed. Make overs are when someone changes their way of dressing. The girl who gets the make over, Margaret, wears the same thing almost everyday. Two girls, Jamie the main character and the author of the diaries & her best friend Isabella take Margaret shopping and buy her new popular clothing. After Margaret becomes popular she decides to go back to being herself and to wear her usual clothes and Hudson notices her.That's when the problem begins.
Well,I think you guys should read this book because,when you are feeling down you can change your mood to a happy one.
I recommend this book to girls 7 or older because it is written as a diary.

I first came across Jim Benton with his sensational The Invisible Fran (Franny K. Stein, Mad Scientist) and other books in that series so eagerly went in search of more of his work. Of the titles in the Dear Dumb Diary series this looked the most interesting and am glad to say the quality of the Franny K series was still there, in fact an additional nice suprise is this book is about three times the length of any of those. However to be honest Dear Dumb Diary is not quite at the masterpiece level of the Franny K. It's still a worthwhile purchase though.

In My Pants are Haunted we the reader get to snoop inside the diary (if we ignore the warnings, death threats and commands to stop reading now!) of school girl Jamie Kelly's diary. Now this is second in the series so I'm not sure if it is better than the first but it is funny. In My Pants Are Haunted Jamie tells of her war against her beagle who in retaliation for not giving him food scraps under the table seems to be having his vengeance by chewing holes in her pants in order of their coolness. Of course it is not acceptable at all to wear the same jeans two days in a row but as more and more jeans appear with holes in them Jamie is having little choice. So she is amazed when one day her mother buys for her the coolest looking pants ever. However as soon as she wears them to school accidents start to happen, her popularity on the cool scale goes from middle to lower. She loses lab partner and love interest Hudson Rivers, happen immediately it is not long before she starts to theorise the pants are responsible. She's also got the mystery of how the hottest girl in school's brothers and sisters seem to be changing in appearance on a daily basis.

Great illustrations inside as well!

Do you like funny books? I have a book that will crack you up! My book is called My Pants are Haunted. It is about a girl named Jamie Kelly who writes in her diary. She writes in her diary about school, her parents, her dog Stinker, her friend Isabella, a mean girl Angelina, and a boy she has a crush on named Hudson. She gets new pants for school. She gets holes in her pants. She gets really upset because they were her best pair of jeans. This book is a series. I think this is a funny book. So get down to your nearest book store and get this book.

My 10 year old daughter is very picky about the books she reads. It's very sad: I buy a book, she reads one chapter, then puts it down forever...BUT when we got "Dear Dumb Diary..." she read it from cover to cover without stopping. Now she has the others in the series and is waiting for more. She has almost worn the covers off.

the first time i read dear dumb diary i fell in love with it.i hope u will to.

Sneak a peek inside the diary of Jaimie Kelly!, just make sure she does't
see you! Jaimie says every thing she says is true... or at least as true as it needs to be.

Jaimie will make you laugh your head off! She makes her life so much worse than
It really is!, like her "evil" enemy... Angeline ,the prettiest and most popular girl in school!, only she doesn't do anything to her ! she claims her pants are haunted, she also claims she has proof! hair, beagles, pants it never ends!

The things that she writes may be strange but it's funny any way!

I love reading Jamie Kelly's diaries! I hope you read them to!

If you like funny, this is a book for you.

It's about a 10 year old girl named Jaime Kelly, and her strange days that she shares by writing in her Dumb Diary.

Her mom bought her a pair of jeans (the ones all the girls were dying for.) Jaime felt like a princess in her new fashionable jeans. The next day she went to school in her fabulous jeans. That wasn't her best idea! She ran into some crazy things, like passing wind when her crush would walk by. She figured that her pants where haunted. She thought they were haunted only when she wore them, but she only figured that out after she gave her jeans away to the most popular girl. Meanwhile, her best friend acts as the popularity police (the girl who tells you which level of popularity you are on.)

If you like watching Lizzie McGuire you'll love Dear Dumb Diary. It has 2 normal best friends, the popular girl, the popular guy, the nickname master, and of course, nerds. This book is for 10-13 year olds. If you like Dear Dumb Diary, My Pants Are Haunted, you should probably get the 1st book of the series. (Dear Dumb Diary, Let's Pretend This Never Happened.) Hurry now to get the Dumb Diary to see how Jaime's day went.

After reading the first "Dear Dumb Diary", I knew I had to read the next one as soon as possible. I was sure it wouldn't be as entertaining. I was wrong!
"My Pants Are Haunted" may sound like a stupid title for a book, but I'm still laughing! Jamie Kelly is a hoot, from describing her off-beat parents to her elation on her cool new Bellazure Jeans to the conclusion that her pants are HAUNTED!!! (Best part in the book: Her pants 'decided to join the conversation' in front of her crush!) Jim Benton never fails to entertain in his works; highly recommended to the 'tweens' group!
