Am I the Princess or the Frog? (Dear Dumb Diary, No. 3) [Paperback]

Jim Benton (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 9 and up | Grade Level: 4 and up

Read the hilarious, candid (and sometimes not-so-nice), diaries of Jamie Kelly, who promises that everything in her diary is true -- or at least as true as it needs to be.

Jamie is crushing on Hudson. Someone too-gross-to-be- named is crushing on Jamie. And Hudson is crushing on . . . Princess Turd of Turdsylvania (a.k.a. The Prettiest Girl in the World).

Middle school may be grim, but it's no fairy tale. And crazy doesn't even begin to cover it.

About the Author

JIM BENTON is not a middle school girl, but do not hold that against him. He has managed to make a living out of being funny anyway. He is the creator of many licensed properties, some for big kids, some for little kids, and some for grown-ups that, frankly, are probably behaving like little kids. You may already know his properties It's Happy Bunny!, or Just Jimmy, and you are about to get to know Dear Dumb Diary. He's created a kids TV series, designed clothing, and written books. Jim Benton lives in Michigan with his spectacular wife and kids. They do not have a dog, and they especially do not have a vengeful beagle. This is his first series for Scholastic. Jamie Kelly doesn't know who Jim Benton is and wonders why he is even being mentioned in connection with her diary. She also wonders when the poison will take effect and if he is a boy . . . and cute.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Hilarious Book, May 21, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Am I the Princess or the Frog? (Dear Dumb Diary, No. 3) (Paperback)

Am I the Princess or the Frog is a funny book. It is a girl named Jamie Kelly and her diary. In the book she goes through many obstacles. Her mother is a very bad cook, but she doesn't know it. Jamie Kelly also has a friend named Isabella who tends to be a little mean sometimes. They both go to "Mackerel Middle School". Their enemy is Angeline who is pretty and perfect. Jamie Kelly has a crush on Hudson (the seventh cutest guy in school). In the book she gets notes from a secret admirer. Who could it be? You'll have to read the book to find out. This book is for girls ages eight and up. It is a great book.
