Jamie Kelly ponders the concept of inner beauty in this fourth Dear Dumb Diary installment. There are walk-a-thons, clothing drives, jump-rope-a-thons and other opportunities to give to others. Isabella seems to have a great idea to raise money for the Juvenile Optometry Foundation. Things get interesting when the charity is "full." Then there is the PE project: transport a baby across imaginary crocodile-infested waters with just a soup pot and a plastic snake. Can it be done? Read Jamie's diar...

Okay, so it might not be the most sophisticated book in the world...but it's still really funny. Read it, have some laughs, and then pass it on to a little sibling!

This book is written in the format of a diary and the owner of this diary is Jamie Kelly. She and her friend Isabella are always thinking up crazy thigns to do. In this book, Jamie wants to be better than Angeline which was a girl that is prettier than her. Angeline starts wearing a barrette, so Jamie starts to wear a barrette. Later on in the story, they had to choose a chairty to raise money for. Angeline found a charity and Jamie is a little bit jealous of her. Isabella "found" a charity and

This would be a good book for third and fourth graders to read. I'm a fifth grader and I still liked it.

Umm, these books are hilarious! I laugh out loud. I either have an simple sense of humor or young girls don't get the jokes. I'm guessing I have a simple sense of humor. :) I think these books are great!

All the Dear Dumb Diary books are really good for people from non-English-speaking countries learning the language. On the other hand I would say about it the same thing I said about the Diary of a Wimpy Kid - it's inappropriate for children under the age of eight because it teaches them that school is something really wrong and boring and some people are just bad - it's never like that!

A kind of stupid book. The girl who is writing the diary is really wierd and stupid...I would never read it again! (Though it appeals to some!)

I own this book it is really funny and entertaining and I found out that Jamie is not based on a real life girl and it is not even a girl writhing this book it is a guy and he aint even in the middle school!

I love all the dear dumb diary books but only read 4

Maybe it would make more sense if I had started the series with book 1 instead of jumping in at book 4. I found the main character very unsympathetic - the story just seemed like a lot of "mean girls" behavior. I suppose some people might find the situations funny but it just seemed like mean girls and mean girl humor.

Dear dumb diary never do anything ever, is about a girl named Jamie Kelly who writes her everyday life down in a diary. Her life consists of her friends, her crush, her "TERRIBLE" assignments, and of course, her arch nemesis. Now, Jamie's arch nemesis is also the most beautiful and popular girl in the school and she is concerned that Angeline is going to steal her "future boyfriend". She begins noticing that Angeline has lots of inner beauty. When Jamie notices that she participates in TONS of c...

I don't know how I ever missed these, but I'm glad I finally picked one up. They are seriously hysterical. Favorite excerpt so far involves Jaime trying out a new hairstyle, complete with a hand-drawn picture of herself...above which reads, "...tomorrow, I am really going to have it going on. Here's a drawing of me having it going on. (I think I may also be all up in that, but I'm not sure exactly what that means.)" That sounds very much like something I may have said when I was 13-ish. Jim Bent...

This book shows the greedy side to Jamie. When Angeline was on the walk-a-thon for kids who needs operations in hopitals. Her greedy side shows and she enters to get money because Angeline got $300 on the walk-on-thon.

Just finished reading this one, and I don't really know if I'm impressed or not.I'm not keen on the attitudes of the main character, but I do like that there were a number of lessons learnt by the main character in order to *hopefully* improve her actual inner beauty.I think I'll have to read more on the author, their attitudes, and their writing style before making a decision on whether I like this book or not.One thing is for certain, it's rare for a book to leave me on the fence about whether...

I thought it was funny and sweet. In the book her friend is back stabbing her and she tries to get back at her. Also in the book she has to befriend her worst enemy Angeline.I t is definetly funny because she thinks that her dog is trying to get back at her so its a laugh and its creative.

This is book is so funny!! I mean if there was a Pictionary and lol was the word than The dear dumb dairy books would show up! Every now and than there is some sass and negativity towards a blond girl named Angeline but over all this book is funny and I definitely recommend it for 9 to 13 year olds or anyone who dares to see into a 6th graders mind.

this book waz hecka funny and the two gurls do dumb stuff that explain the name if the book lolz

hopefully readers are able to determine that she is kind of a shallow jerk and that is the humor. Jamie and Isabela are not nice people, but Angelina, who they vilify, is very sweet. there are few consequences for wrong doing, such as faking a charity to buy contacts and overly large boasts for right doing.

The title is NEVER DO ANYTHING EVER by Jim Benton! The setting took place in a diary. The characters are Isabella, Jamie Kelly, her mom and dad. I choose this book because I have heard a lot of good things about this book. Jamie Kelly doesn't want anyone to read her dear dumb diary. She tells her diary everything about her and all her secrets. She says her only friend is her diary, because she can trust it not to tell anyone her secrets. If you like drama then this would be a good book for you.

i have been reading this book for a while, because iu am reading so many at a time. i wish i could just choose one book and settle with it for once. i really do like the serise though, because it is about things that happen in Middle school, and they have happened to me, some of them.
