Dear Dumb Diary

review 1: If you know me well, you know I've always loved dear dumb dairy books. Year #2 is great although the the first year is better. This book is so true best friends do compete against each other at who's better at least some do, me and my best friend (one of them) are exactly like this. I loved this book, well obviously, but I really do love Jamie Kelly's "daires". And I love the author, he being a boy can put himself into girl-like situations! I've always loved dumb dairy books and this is just one more to my collection to love! I recommend this book to anyone, because really anyone will love it!
review 2: Jamie is inadvertently blamed for a substitute teacher being hit in the backside by a tennis ball because her best friend, Isabelle, is trying to frame Yolanda ... morefor dismissing her remarks about keeping a kangaroo. After an interview with the assistant principal (and also her new uncle), Jamie is exonerated of the crime, but made to feel bad that there are no extracurricular activities in her permanent record. She and Isabelle sign up for everything under the sun—chess club, gamers’ club, and even running club. After one sweaty morning with them, Isabelle steals fancy coffee from the teachers’ lounge and the two perfume themselves with it, which gets them positive attention from the staff, who are all strangely addicted to coffee. But why is there expensive coffee in the teachers’ lounge, and what does it have to do with the fact that noxious meatloaf is served to the students every week?Strengths: These are super quick reads, complete with pictures, and get a little snarky with friend drama and students being mean to each other. Very popular with reluctant middle school readers.Weaknesses: Rather unrealistic, and I’m not a fan of the pictures, which are often sort of gross (Jamie is shown drooling or making zombie faces a lot.) Rather a The Fourth Stall for girls, it’s just something I don’t understand because I am out of middle school, and know that the only way we have coffee is that the PTO pays for it. less
