Decided to take a trip down history road and read this book. I thought it was pretty funny and the art was good and added to the story. As for the content I thought it was funny storyline.

Jamie cares far too much about being popular, and is jealous of the pretty girl, Angeline, who seems to be nice and not deserving of the hate, which again I think is funny and puts the whole 'mean popular girl' trope on it's head. I think she thinks about how pretty Angeline is wayy too much and I will now make it headcannon that she has a crush on her. Yep that's how it goes.

Could be better, but still better :-)

Overall, had fun to read but somehow I couldn't get all the characters, and end of the day, I found them kind of same.Still, It made my tired eyes :v

p.s 1: some moments made me nostalgic, I need to sleep now -_-
p.s 2: I didn't hate Angeline that much though -_- still, Jammie rocks.
p.s 3: Of course I am just one rampaging elephant away from marrying the most handsome boy in school.:v :v :v

Dear Dumb Diary is written by Jim Benton. The main charecter is Jamie Kelly. The setting is in Mackerel Middle school. I recommend this book to anyone who likes to read funny books. This book is about how Jamie Kelly has the most popular and prettiest girl in the school not like her at all. Angeline is so pretty that she is at the top of the popularity level. When Jamie and her friend Isabella bring the not so pretty girl named Margaret to the mall, the next day she comes in school looking like supermodel. That means now Margret is at the top of the popularity level. Above beautiful Angeline! Isabella thinks that Jamie's pear of designer jeans are haunted. Are Jamie's pants really haunted?

This was actually apart of the first series of books that got me to love reading. I love the humor and the stories of Dear Dumb Diary. When I was younger, this book was my favorite book in my shelf, and in a way it still is in a sense.

My pants are haunted was a funny and very humorousness story about a girl who's popularity means a lot to her and her friend Isabella. The whole popularity scale in school tips over because of a perfume malfunction in the testing of a super fragrance stolen by a non-popular girl who wanted to be popular to be with a guy. Sounds cliche, but it involves a whole lot of funny and humorousness events.

Jaime Kelly is back, and this time she is having problems with her pants. They seem to be forcing her to do embarrassing things. Like break wind near the eighth cutest guy at school, who is also her secret crush. This leads Jaime on a tip involving angry beagles, switching lab partners, perfume experiments and makeovers. And all of it is told through the sarcastic commentary and hilarious illustrations of Jaime's diary. Which we are not supposed to be reading.

This is a wonderful sequel to the original that most girls will enjoy.
