[.uk] Never Do Anything, Ever (Dear Dumb Diary #4) (ISBN 043962908X)

It was hilarious!:
This was the third book I have read by Jim Benton. It was very funny. The things that happen in the story are true life to girls especially. Most of the characters are girls but there are some boys. The drawings are really crazy and add a lot to the story. I have read the other Dear Dumb Diary books and they were good, but I like this one the best.

Not the best in the series, but still pretty entertaining:
"Her best friend's a backstabber. Her worst enemy is a sweetheart. And her dog is just waiting for the right moment to seek his revenge. Why should Jamie even bother going to school?" This sneak preview pretty much sums up the trials and tribulations of Jamie Kelly. In this fourth installment, Jamie's sworn enemy Angeline gets into charity work and inspires Jamie and her best friend Isabella to develop some 'inner beauty' of their own. A mostly funny and occasionally charming tale that even teaches a valuable lesson at the end: Maybe we all have inner beauty. Give it a try.

A funny diary:
The back of the book invites us to "Sneak a peek inside the diary of Jamie Kelly, who promises everything she writes is true.....well, at least as true as it needs to be," I did and it was worth it. The book is about a girl who does charity work to beat another girl who is popular. She also wants to make the cutest boy like her. However everytime she tries, something embarrassing happens and it is reported in her school's newspaper. I think that the book is very funny and entertaining. I suggest this book for girls ages 9-11. Girls our age want a boy to like them and so does the girl in this book. I also suggest this book for girls who like diary-style books because they would have fun reading this. I LOVE THIS BOOK! Paola, 11
