Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Read the hilarious, candid (& sometimes mean) diaries of Jamie Kelly, who promises that everything in her diary is true...or at least as true as it needs to be. In this book, Jamie contends with Angeline, the school's prettiest, most popular girl (who Jamie thinks is a goon!) and the impending visit of her troll-like little cousin. Will Jamie survive? Will she go mad? Will she send her mom's nasty casserole to starving children in Wheretheheckistan? You'll just have to read the first installment of Dear Dumb Diary to find out!

5.0 out of 5 stars a funny book, October 4, 2004
A Kid's Review
Dear Dumb Diary #1 is really funny. It is the diary of a sixth grade girl named Jamie Kelly, who always has a problem, usually something embarrasing about her or her friend Isabella, maybe even a problem with Angeline, the most popular girl in school.
Whatever her problem is, Jamie always finds a funny way to fix it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty funny stuff. (Cute, too!), June 6, 2005
My mother brought this book home for my young niece. I read a few pages, then the whole thing. I thought both the story and the illustrations were riotous! Jim Benton may not be a twelve-year-old girl, but he sure thinks like one! I can't wait to see if the other two books are as funny as this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good. Not so dumb, haha., July 13, 2005
A Kid's Review
Dear Dumb Diary: Let's Pretend This Never Happened is a very funny story (well, really a diary) about a girl that's in middle school. Her name is Jamie Kelly, and she really dislikes Angeline, the most popular girl in her school (Jamie, acording to the popularity meter, is just 7/10!). She has to deal with the fear of being nicknamed, vengeful beagles, and getting her 'future boyfriend' stolen. It's a pretty funny story & it's very realistic. Its drawings are great, not the best but they're funny. I reccomend this book to 8-12 year olds. Also, this book is made by the creator of Happy Bunny, so I suppose whoever is a fan of Jim Benton should read it.
