Book Synopsis



Jamie Kelly is back and dumber than ever in this super-deluxe four-color Dear Dumb Diary special edition!

Life at Mackerel Middle School is as dumb as ever -- but Jamie Kelly may have finally found the key to fame, fortune, and fabulousness. Together with Isabella and Angeline, she's come up with a moneymaking idea, and it has to do with food. Everyone likes food! They're going to be rich!The only problem? They have to come up with something that people actually want to eat.Jamie has some sophisticated thoughts on food, like, "She was manipulating us like dough. Like the sweet, delicious dough that we are. And she was baking us into the type of delicious cookies you can only get from dough like us. And she was putting sprinkles of us on top of us, and -- forget it. I'm hungry. I want some cookies." This is sure to go well.



From the Back Cover



An extra-special, extra-hilarious new diary in POB with full-color illustrations!



Life at Mackerel Middle School is as dumb as ever -- but Jamie Kelly may have finally found the key to fame, fortune, and fabulousness. The only problem? She has to come up with a recipe . . . that people would actually want to eat.



Since Jamie's sophisticated observations about food include, "I think that if you're going to talk with your mouth full, it should be full of donuts. This way, the things

you say will sound nicer, as they are covered with deliciousness molecules," this contest is guaranteed to be a hilarious disaster!



Review Quotes




Reviews from Dear Dumb Diaries Series

"Now, as an adult, settling down to read Jim Benton's Dear Dumb Diary books, I can't help but spend the hour reading with a smile on my face and laughter-induced tears on my cheeks... This series is so much fun - hilarious and creative - giving a voice to an average-seeming kid, who knows deep down that she is something special." -Indigo Kids Blog, June 13th 2012.
