Ce Que J'ignore Peut Me Faire du Tort

Mon Journal Full Nul

by Jim Benton, Marie-Josée Brière (Translator)

POURQUOI FAUDRAIT-IL AVOIR CONSCIENCE D'UN TAS DE CHOSES, DO TOUTE MANIÈRE?

Cher nul,

Évidement, il a fallu que la conscience d'Angéline se réveille, juste au moment où je commencais à me dire qu'on allait pouvoir laisser le Comité de sensibilisation des élèves mourir dans la dignité, comme un vieil éléphant majestueux ou le Club des danses carrées.

Et bien sûr, ça ne pouvait pas être quelque chose d'intéressant, comme le vernis à ongles, ou la raison pour laquelle il devrait y avoir un cours spécial sur le vernis à ongles et la façon d'en enlever de l'oeille d'un beagle. (Maman, si tu lis ceci, ce n'est pas un aveu. Quelqu'un d'autre a très bien pu peindre un cœur sur l'oreille de Sac-à-Puces.)

Angéline a simplement pris conscience d'une de ces choses QUI PLAISENT AUX ADULTES.

This is my favorite book of the 4 that I've read in this series. It is VERY funny, I laughed aloud like a crazy person many times. It is witty, smart, a page-turner, awesomely-illustrated, loads of fun, and with a great message.
I am eager to purchase and read the other books in this nerdy/awesome series :)

One final Dear Dumb Diary in the Cycle that has inspired millions around the world! (and yes, folks, Stinker and his Dogg Pound are back! Insert Handel's Hallelujah Chorus here!) Jamie and Isabella are as close as friends should be without the need for knuckle sandwiches at close proximity.....sometimes. Isabella is as tough as they come, and when they DO COME....well, let's put it this way: expect your city block to become a war zone when SHE struts in your radius! But THEN: the most horrid THING has come to Mackerel Middle to change things forever--Dicky, a little boy with a face even Gilbert Gottfried wouldn't wake up to if HE had a facial like Dicky! He's so ugly--he's CUTE! He's a Stinker kinda cute! That is why the school's resident bully and general nuisance in absentia likes to pick on him from time to time. Angeline, the Princess of all things Blonde and Saccharine-sweet, feels the responsibility upon her to right things for victims of bully-related justifiable homicide (But then so does Hayden Panettiere, but that's another story) by putting up posters focusing on peaceful negotiations and Care Bear-like Love, ehich I would instantly go for but "real" people don't for some reason. This rankles with Jamie, really rankles with Isabella BIG TIME. Worse horror is still to come: Izzy's brothers, both older and dumber, have moved on to bigger and brighter things (and bigger and brighter people, I hope) and now Izzy is actually nicer, and not so J. Law-esque. She can't even beat the hell out of the bully at school! She even has seen Dicky's parents--who are even NICERER! The mom and DAD make Bradys look like, well, Bradys are supposed to look! THAT'S IT! It's Jamie time! This book could be the last of this great series (until the next one) so please enjoy by all means necessary! And COME BACK STINKER!!!

Even though these books are geared towards kids, I really enjoy them. I just love Jim Benton's sense of humor, it is a lot like mine. I'll read anything he writes. And these books are so funny, I always laugh out loud when I read them. If you like a good laugh, lots of sarcasm, and hilarious drawings, you'll enjoy these. Or your children might, either way I recommend them :)

[Rachel]

I hold a special place for Dear Dumb Diaries because I have to get some humor somewhere. I liked this one more than I thought I would, mainly the change-ups in Jamie's mom and Isabella. It's weird when I grow up but book characters never do.... Never much to say about Dear Dumb Diary. They are hilarious in brilliant and horrible ways. Happy Friday!

Jamie wanted the Cuisine Club to win the school Membership Drive (cash prize!) but Angeline and Isabella wanted their clubs to win too. So they all fight for the only person with Wednesday open. Then, the person has to choose between the three clubs. Dear Dumb Diary Year Two #4 is a story about friendship and greed.

[Sadaf]

I have always loved this series because of the number of books in the series you would think that it would get boring after awhile and that the author couldn't bring anything new to the table. But no, Jim Benton somehow manages to make this series, book after book, even more funny and interesting than the last.

Man this guy is funny, and somehow over all his books he can pull off even more hilarious things in Jamie Kelly's diary. Job well done.

[Pietra Ibrisimovic]

When I'm in a reading slump, picking up a children's book is always the best thing to do in my case and this series is simply the best.

[Kaylee]

A funny, school life, weird kinda fun book. Especially the beginning and ending, pretty good book.

[Lexandra]

It was hilarious! I especially like Isabella...

[Ryan]

The fourth book in the Year 2 series of Dear Dumb Diary, the story appears to be split between fundraising for the school clubs and an antibullying campaign. But the humor remains the strong point here where Jamie either is on point of what her friends are discussing or completely oblivious that the topic has to be literally slammed in her face. After all, what you don't know might hurt you...eventually.

[Caralyn Rubli]

Very funny.

[Helen]

This is another good book in this favorite series! This book deals with bullying, school clubs, and various types of families.

[Sara Palacios]

Un livre court que j’ai aimé.

[Kristy]

This was surpringly funny! Loved the characters and the MC's voice but the plot could've been better. I wasn't exactly sure where the story was going and the stakes weren't high enough for me. That being said, I still really enjoyed this book. The author has an excellent sense of humour and comedic timing.

[Monique B.]

This book is AMAZING!!! In the beginning I didn't want to read it but I started reading it more and more and It is WONDERFULL
