Never Do Anything...

Such a cute, mocking kind of story, that is just sarcastic enough to keep preteens giggling, and even young teens like it. Too bad the story is over so quickly. If you have a fast reader, get her several of these to keep her going. One will be done in a very short time if she likes them.

great books!

My 10 year old daughter loves these books. She says they are very funny. We want the whole set!

kids love it

My kids love this book. The whole series. I'm for any book that can get my kids to sit down and read.

A funny diary

The back of the book invites us to "Sneak a peek inside the diary of Jamie Kelly, who promises everything she writes is true.....well, at least as true as it needs to be," I did and it was worth it. The book is about a girl who does charity work to beat another girl who is popular. She also wants to make the cutest boy like her. However everytime she tries, something embarrassing happens and it is reported in her school's newspaper. I think that the book is very funny and entertaining. I suggest this book for girls ages 9-11. Girls our age want a boy to like them and so does the girl in this book. I also suggest this book for girls who like diary-style books because they would have fun reading this. I LOVE THIS BOOK! Paola, 11

It was hilarious!

This was the third book I have read by Jim Benton. It was very funny. The things that happen in the story are true life to girls especially. Most of the characters are girls but there are some boys. The drawings are really crazy and add a lot to the story. I have read the other Dear Dumb Diary books and they were good, but I like this one the best.
