My Pants Are Haunted! (Dear Dumb Diary, No. 2)

Dear All, I just wanted to write you and share my joy! I have finally found a book series that my daughter (5th) loves to read: The Dear Dumb Diaries series. I am so excited! I know that these are not the longer chapter books that the school would like for her to pick up and try, but... Miracle: My daughter is reading on her own and loving it!! Reading has been a struggle for my daughter for awhile. She was thankfully in Title I last year but it was still like pulling teeth to get her to pick up a book at home on her own. But now when I announce reading time she picks up one of these books and reads for long periods of time. Sometimes I even find her locking the bathroom door for privacy and uninterrupted reading time. She has even tried to read in bed after hours with a flash light! (Surprisingly, my 13 year old sometimes picks them up for a quick fun read! She told me that she remembers loving to read these books). As an avid reader myself, this is what I have always imagined for my children...reading and loving books. I have started buying the entire series in hopes that is plants a seed and creates a love of reading that transitions into other books as well. My daughter has also just announced that she would love to have some of the "Franny K. Stein" series. Her entire class is waiting for the 1 that is in the library. I am ordering today! Just thought I would share and say Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Every penny is worth it.... (Some are literally 1cent on Amazon :o) Sincerely, A grateful Mother and School Social Worker

Don't ask why, but I loved reading this book when I was younger. It's super sarcastic and witty. Well, I got drunk one night and somehow this book crossed my mind. Now that I'm an adult, I have the power to open my Amazon account and order crap when I'm drunk, so drunk me went and bought the book. I don't regret it. It's still funny. Brings back memories of me and my budding sarcasm. Thanks!

Son mis libros de la infancia, comprarlos nuevamente para ver a mis hijos leerlos me encanta recomiendo mil

My daughter loves all of these books. Her twin brother, who is such a BOY, likes them too. They both find the series really funny. A great way to get kids interested in reading! What a nice surprise as she received one of these books as a gift, and now we have almost all of them. The only thing I don't like (hence 4 stars instead of 5!) is that you can't get it on kindle. The kids got iPod touches for Xmas and want to read all of their books on kindle. Plus, i hate the clutter of having all these paper books everywhere. What a bummer. Get with it, authors!

Muy buen libro y muy divertido!!

Witty and enjoyable for adults and kids and young as 5 and old as 55. The stories have twists and mysteries. A bit of teen issues and popularity concerns. Meanness and morals ...

I chose a 5 star rating because,first of all I'm not reading this, my grandchild loves this series. She loves how open-minding the main character,Jamie Kelly, is and she reads like 5 a day of course not including school days. Her favorite part was when they caught Sally with isabella's fragrance which was perfume samples in magazines. She would recommend this for kids ages 7-12 that's just her opinion of course. It was awesome though!

After reading the first "Dear Dumb Diary", I knew I had to read the next one as soon as possible. I was sure it wouldn't be as entertaining. I was wrong! "My Pants Are Haunted" may sound like a stupid title for a book, but I'm still laughing! Jamie Kelly is a hoot, from describing her off-beat parents to her elation on her cool new Bellazure Jeans to the conclusion that her pants are HAUNTED!!! (Best part in the book: Her pants 'decided to join the conversation' in front of her crush!) Jim Benton never fails to entertain in his works; highly recommended to the 'tweens' group!

A great book that makes you constantly want to read more! This is definitely one of my favourite books ever!! I'm normally quite picky with books but this one was definitely worth a 5-star rating!!! The main character is always talking to her diary but it really feels like she talking to you (the reader). My teacher also said that they've helped me to improve in my writing because I've picked up on some of her brilliant use of vocabulary!! LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH!!!

Arrived damaged. Entire corner of the book has been removed.

It is good. And pictures are interesting .We have to understand the story for it

I gave this book 5 stars because I think it is funny, and very suitable for girls my age (11). I would recommend it to all of my friends and to girls around my age. I like the way her beagle (stinker) is very naughty and I like the way she thinks her trousers are haunted! There wasn't really anything negative I thought about this book.

i think the book was ok but i have read so many beter books like harry potter or goosbumps. this book was funny but did just didn't have any drama or emotion. in all its only a book i would read if there was nothing better, By Gwen
