Never Underestimate Your Dumbness (Dear Dumb Diary Series #7)

by Jim Benton, Jim Benton (Illustrator)

Overview

Sneak a peek inside the NY Times bestselling diary of Jamie Kelly, who promises that everything she writes is true — or at least as true as it needs to be.

Dear Dumb Diary,Isabella is probably right. She almost always is. When I think back on all the things I've seen Angeline do, the one thing they have in common is that they're all dumb. (They're all strawberry-scented, too, but I think that's just her conditioner — although her body might actually secrete its own strawberry scent.)But of all the dumb things she's ever done, this has got to be the dumbest.

Editorial Reviews

Jamie's aunt and Angeline's uncle are tying the knot, but for poor Jamie, the process feels suspiciously like a noose tightening. As both families prepare for the nuptials, the journal keeper of the Dear Dumb Diary series contemplates the end of life as he knows it. Funny, candid, and wise; all the angst and cutting wit of youth.
