The Problem with Here Is That It's Where I'm From (Dear Dumb Diary Series #6)

by Jim Benton, Jim Benton (Illustrator)

Overview

Everyone's favorite Mackerel Middle-Schooler, Jamie Kelly, is back with another hilarious, candid (and sometimes not-so-nice) diary!There's a new girl in at Mackerel Middle School.Colette is friendly, fabulous, smart, totally talented, and an all-around amazing individual. She is more brilliantly diabolical than Isabella, as blindly loyal as Stinker, and even harder-to-resist than Angeline. It's enough to make Jamie throw up a little. And Jamie just can't help but wonder: Is it humanly possible for a girl to be more perfectly perfect than the most perfect girl in the world?

Editorial Reviews

Janie Kelly keeps a diary because she wants to understand what she can't understand. Take Angeline, for instance: "When she's nice, it makes me mad. When she's pretty, it makes me mad. It never changes. I guess the only good thing about Angeline is that she can never bother me more than she does right now. Perfect people make me perfectly ill." In the sixth volume of her journal, our favorite Mackeral Middle Schooler shares her emphatic views with her dear dumb diary. Funny, apt, 7-year-old insights.
