The Dear Dumb Diary books 1-10 are intensely comical! Follow Jamie Kelly on her funny adventures through middle school. Through the ups, downs, and all-arounds, she has lots of fun with her BFF, Isabella, and her tubby beagle, Stinker. Even though Jim Benton may not be a middle-school girl, he did a great job with these books! I read the whole series in about a week; they were HILARIOUS! I recommend this series for ages 8-12.

AMERICAN GIRLS IS EXCELLENT BUT I'M ONLY FIVE CHAPTERS IN. THE DEAR DUMB DIARY SERIES IS AMUSING, BUT I ONLY STARTED IT TO SCREEN IT SO I CAN CONVINCINGLY ARGUE WITH IDIOTS THAT Y, IT'S SUITABLE FOR AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LIBRARY.

I read these books when I was a kid, and maybe this is just because I was too suggestible, but I kind of started hating popular blonde girls at school. (I got over it eventually, lol.) Angelina gives Jamie no reason to be so spiteful. There's lots of other children's books that don't encourage this kind of unhealthy social competition.

That said, I'm grateful that it also encouraged me to keep a diary of my own. It helped me through lots of tough things growing up, and is a habit I have carried into adulthood.
