Dear Dumb Diary

review 1: It's finally year two... and Jamie isn't looking forward to anymore school. Jamie grapples with school, grades, and middle school's Big Questions this month. She really needs to pull her grades up, or else... torture... To make matters worse, her grades wont be coming up by themselves (Jamie hasn't fully realized this yet). Don't miss even more of her words of wisdom like, "If someone is really, really intelligent, it would be polite if they would ugly it up a bit before they left the house."(Jamie STILL has no idea that anybody is reading her diary. So please, please, please don't tell her.)I picked up this book because I read the other books in the Dear Dumb Diary series and they were all very funny and had an unexpected twist ending (that was also funny). This book did ... morenot disappoint. The twist ending was there and I had a good laugh at all of Jamie's incorrect assumptions and mistakes.I finished this book because I knew from experience that in the end, everything would turn out differently than however you assumed it might. I just knew that Jamie was taking things the wrong way and assuming the wrong things.I would recommend this book to Raechell because it is funny and Raechell loves to laugh. The ending is always unexpected and surprising.
review 2: School. Hasn't This Gone On Long Enough? is a book about a young girl who is struggling through another year of school. Jamie is having problems with math and is relying on her friend to help her. But the catch is that all the people in her life are in on a plan to help her improve her grades with her knowing. Which does work in the end. I had a hard time reading this book. I had to continually go back and reread pages because of the pictures. I was very distracted and kept finding myself looking only at the pictures and not the whole story. But I did enjoy Jamie's character. She was very funny and honest. This book would appeal to young girls. Probably 3rd to 8th grade. Although it is any easy read the older girls will still enjoy the content. The pictures will entice the beginning chapter book readers and keep the engaged in the story. It is more of a girly book because the main character is female and this is a diary about her life. It contains a lot of feminine talks that would not really interest the boys. Benton, Jim. Dear dumb diary year two School, hasn't this gone on long enough?. New York, N.Y.: Scholastic, 2012.
