Dear Dumb Diary #2 My pants are haunted.


Our first review: Dear Dumb Diary. I was hesitant to buy this book secondary to the title. I don't like for my children to use language like "dumb" but I know I have to loosen up a little. At any rate, my daughter was interested in it, so we went for the purchase. Here is the Amazon online synopsis: They were just a soft, ordinary pair of thrift-shop jeans until Jamie Kelly tried them on . . . Then they became a tight, scratchy, slightly smelly, and utterly ordinary pair of thrift-shop jeans with an embarrassing haunting problem. Do the pants have the power to soothe a vengeful beagle, vanquish The Prettiest Girl in the World, or make the wearer irresistible to the eighth cutest guy in the grade? Are the haunted pants so dazzling they can hurt and maybe permanently damage the eyes of onlookers? Or are the haunted pants just, well, haunted (which is kind of gross when you think about it)?

Here is my daughters review: I thought the book was really great and if some people don't like it, I just hope they do. I think people should like it because it's about these haunted pants and it's a little scary.

Why this blog

Hello,

I'm all ways searching the net for books that my children will love. I find that most of the reviews are by adults and when I get the book home my kids do not love it. My daughter and I have decided we are going to blog about books and rate them according to if they are good in her eyes. I may also through in comments from my other child about if he likes certain books. In the end, I just hope that other parents use this as a way to purchase books for their children.

Thanks!
