I remember reading these in elementary school, so when I found them at the library, I had to reread them. Let me just say, this humour is so dry

I basically just read this for nostalgic purposes. I remember absolutely loving this when I was in Primary School, and while I din't find it as amazing as I did when I was younger, I really enjoyed it. I'd definitely recommend this for younger audiences, like maybe 8-12 year old girls.

Much funnier than I expected. Why weren't these as big as Wimpy Kid?

BOOK #21 READ FOR BELIEVATHON ROUND 2.I reread this book for my rereading childhood favourites video!representation: yeeeahhhhh, none from what I read.[trigger warnings are listed at the bottom of this review and may contain spoilers]★★DNF on page 26 of my reread. As much as this book series influenced me so much as a kid in terms of keeping my own diaries and reading more books, it just doesn't hold up today. It has some of the worst fat-shaming I've seen in a middle grade and I'm v sad about

Jamie Kelly had me laughing out loud more times than I can count. Such hilarious observations and her artwork is a hoot. Her deathly fear of being nicknamed for life (consider the example of what happened to Butt Buttlington) is a running theme. Also her complicated relationship with packing a lunch vs. eating the cafeteria lunch leads to some hilarious situations. Not a five-star read as there are a couple of cringe-worthy moments -- perhaps that is just the fact that the book was written early...

MY OPINION: This book is pretty nice for me because Jamie seems to be a crazy girl.. this book also makes you laugh.. ! :D SUMMARYJamie Kelly is a girl that has a diary.. and she writes crazy stuff about people and makes some drawings (not really just the author LOL!)Jamie's qualities are clever.. Jamie's hair dye name is "Groundhog".Her eye color is green and her crush is called Hudson Rivers. Her bff is called Isabella. Angeline is a clever girl too..she has a nice hair. Her hair's name is "Go...

it's like a grown man who never went to public school wrote a book from the point of view of a middle school girl. oh wait. that's what it is. i recommend reading it out loud on the floor of the children's section of barnes and noble to your friends, like i did.

Jamie Kelly is in eighth grade and keeps a diary about her life. She writes about a popular girl, her dog, her best friend, her mom's cooking, and her messy messy cousin. As she writes, you can see that her life isn't fun and games. Dear Dumb Dairy is a funny book because of the way Jamie writes and thinks. Its also has funny pictures that show what she talks about, which is kinda funny. And don't worry about school, try to enjoy the book. I like this book because of its funniness and weirdness

This book is about a girl named Jamie and she is friends with another girl named Isabella.Isabella is always get in trouble but Jamie is always going off in to her own world. she is always taking the the blame for other people’s mistakes including Isabella’s. The main thing that this book was about is Jamie wants to steal her cousin’s permanent record Angeline but when she finally remembers to take the record!😀😀. But two days later when her cousin arrived she lost it!!! The next day she was maki...

Hahahaha! This was hilarious and a quick read. I'm a huge fan of the Georgia Nicholson diaries for teens and this series reminds me a bit of them, although aimed at the younger set. It's basically about middle schooler Jamie Kelly, who vents to her "dumb diary" about school, boys, her dog, her family, and most of all, her arch-nemesis, the perfect Angeline. Supplementing each diary entry are these humorous illustrations (drawn by our heroine) that had me laughing out loud.As a kiddo librarian, I...

My third-grader had belly-laughs as she read this book. It's not one that I would have selected for her, but we all have our guilty-pleasure reads.Lines I liked:"By the way, you know how the name for Angeline's hair color is 'Gloriously Heavenly Sunshine'? The people at the dye company named the one that matches mine 'Groundhog'" (22)."I was so glad that my hair was back the way that nature had inflicted" (23)."Mr. Evans said that I pretty much need an A on my mythology report or my grades would...

I picked this up mostly for "research," because I'm working on a diary-format novel with a character who starts out in middle school/junior high. I was disappointed by the slut-shaming and fatphobia in this book, and by the MC's stereotypical girl-hate. There really is no plot, other than "I'm jealous of Angeline and I hate her but I love her" and suddenly in the last few pages half a bazillion things happen, plot twist! after plot twist! after PLOT TWIST!!The MC's voice is funny (though her per...

I decided to read this book because it fits into one of the categorys on the bingo board. This book fits into the category: Your own choice. This category is interesting because you get to read watever book you want to so there is a better chance you will enjoy it. My favourite quote from the book is: “This means that I don't have to run faster than the psychotic-maniac-vampire-cannibal, I just have to run faster than whoever is with me when the psychotic-maniac-vampire-cannibal starts chasing u...

you know looking back on these books from my current homosexual viewpoint. i think the girl rivalry here was definitely like. at least a little gay

I recently read this to my friend's oldest daughter. This is a negative, and sometimes mean-spirited diary of a young girl. The protagonist makes fun of Isabella's grandma saying she has a "horse-like butt". She also makes fun of a lunch lady saying she resembles meatloaf and a kid touched her neck flub and was grossed out. She also mentions popularity scales and loser scales. Weight / Age shaming only tells kids who are reading that bullying is okay. She refers to starving kids in "Wheretheheck...

This book is about a girl named Jamie who has an enemy.The enemys name is Angeline.Angline was mean to Jamie.For example Angeline started to throw meat loaf in the cafeteria.But Jamie got in trouble for it.While Jamie was getting in trouble Angeline was wiping her hands off from the meat loaf.But is it true that Angeline is really that mean. I recommend this book because you can make connections to the book if you have an enemy of your own.Also it is very funny and very dumb.

I loved this book because it is funny and silly,and because its like a girls diary

iconic. this series changed society. it was a formative player in my childhood. jamie is my hero.

This book starts the entire "Dear Dumb Diary" children's series. This book introduces the main character, a very spunky and opinionated girl, and her friends and family, who appear in the series multiple times as well. The stories have barely any plot, and probably really has no value in society, but considering it's written for children, then it's passable with two stars. I read this series when I was younger and the experience still feels fresh. I remember enjoying it a lot because the author

This bok was terrific because it was so interesting and it also painted a picture in my mind!!!!!!This book would always keep me guessing!!!
