can adults become human (dear dumb diary #5)

My 10-year-old daughter , a picky reader, devoured this whole series. Easy to read, great illustrations, and absolutely hilarious. Book # 5 is just as funny as the first 4. I read them too. Laughed til I cried! Honestly!

side splitting hilarious!

I love this line of books. They are all very entertaining. I couldn't stop laughing.

Intelligently Funny

If you want to read a book thats hilarious, creative, and different, then you should read Dear Dumb Diary bye Jim Benton. Dear Dumb Diary is a series of books that were written like a diary of Jamie Kelly. Jamie is a mid-teen girl who goes to Mackeral Middle School. Almost every day she writes about her day or what mood she is in. Jamie is a normal girl who would do anything to get revenge on Angeline, her evil enemy. Her best friend Isabelle is a crazy girl who is surprisingly very different then Jamie. Every book has different problems and occasions. The most recent book that I've read in the series was Can Adults Become Human? This book was intelligently funny and made me laugh whenever I saw the pictures. This book is about Jamie's aunt comeing to visit her family. Her aunt turns out to be loads of fun and ends up working at her school. Little does Jamie know about the secrets her aunt has been keeping. This book only took me 2 days to read because I loved it so much I cant wait for the next one to come out.
