Dear Dumb Diary

review 1: Jamie Kelly is at it again. It is now summertime and Jamie's aunt and uncle give Jamie, her best friend (Isabella), and her cousin by marriage (Angeline) a proposition. If they can come up with $100 a piece they will pay for the hotel for them to stay at so they can go to Screamotopia Amusement Park. They come up with a variety of schemes to earn the money from an unsuccessful lemonade stand, to cutting their hair, to having a car wash. I think this would appeal to any girl between third through fifth grade. It's an easy book to get children to start reading chapter books because the way it is written. Instead of text, the author wrote this as diary entries so it makes it easy to read. I would use this book as a fun, entertaining way to discuss different ways on how to rai... morese money for something you really want. Benton, Jim. Dear dumb diary: The worst things in life are also free. New York: Scholastic, 2010. Print.
review 2: Reviewed by Sally Kruger aka "Readingjunky" for TeensReadToo.comIt's summer vacation time. No school means time to do whatever, but Jamie Kelly and her friends Isabella and Angeline quickly discover that anything worth doing costs money. It's even more infuriating when grown-ups keep telling them, "The best things in life are free." Yeah, right!Uncle Dan saves the day when he makes a deal with the three girls. He says if they can earn $100 each over the next month, he will take them to the amusement park Screamotopia. How hard can it be to earn a little vacation money?The girls try everything. Their first money-making venture is a lemonade stand. Someone drinks all the profits and all Jamie knows is it wasn't her. Then they try babysitting, car washing, and an eBay auction of all their unwanted treasures. With each new idea the girls have high hopes which are soon dashed to smithereens. By the middle of the month, they've managed to earn a total of $5.50. There is no way they'll be going to Screamotopia this summer.Jim Benton continues his hilarious DEAR DUMB DIARY series with this entry. Thanks to a 5th-grade student, I discovered this series and have laughed hysterically with each book. Readers will have a great time following the adventures of Jamie and her friends. less
