I find these books more and more entertaining. I know that my daughter (who is now in middle school) doesn't behave like any of these caricatures of middle-school girls, but there are some similarities. The nearness of the descriptions is part of what makes these books entertaining.

I particularly like this one because of the mystery around the whole situation. A lot of people are behaving strangely and Jamie doesn't know why.

I also really like how the author is able to reveal things to the reader without Jamie figuring them out.

Most of all, though, this book is funny.

Reading this book as a young adult made me realize that Dear Dumb Diary is a series that has honestly shaped me into the person I am today. It really explains why my sense of humor is equivalent to that of a middle schooler.

Just as funny as ever, and just as moody towards Angeline.

A good book especially for girls aged ten to fourteen. I found it amusing enough to keep me entertained at my age. The illustrations worked well with the story.
