So, I read the book that came after this one in the series a long time ago. Let's just say that this book cleared up a lot of things. I truly love this series, even if it is for elementary schoolers, it just never gets old. It's weird, though, how every book ends with Angeline, Jamie, and Isabella as best friends, and then the next book starts and Jamie and Isabella completely hate Angeline again. I know that it's just for effect, and I really don't mind it, but if they did that in any series other than this one, it would annoy the crap out of me. Character development, and development between characters shouldn't just collapse in the time between books!

Ah well, totally recommend it to anyone who loves the series. This is one of the best ones.

All the Dear Dumb Diary books are really good for people from non-English-speaking countries learning the language. On the other hand I would say about it the same thing I said about the Diary of a Wimpy Kid - it's inappropriate for children under the age of eight because it teaches them that school is something really wrong and boring and some people are just bad - it's never like that!
