Dear Dumb Diary: Let's Pretend This Never Happened is the first book in the Dumb Diary series by Jim Benton and only the second one I've managed to snag for myself. It wasn't as good as the third book, Am I The Princess or The Frog?, but it was still written in a manner that was enjoyable. If I were a young girl on her way into middle school, or already in middle school, I would probably have enjoyed it more than what I had but there was just something lacking in Jim's writing with this one. The heroine of Mr. Benton's Dumb Diary series obviously grows as the series continues on because I wasn't feeling her wit or humor as much as I did in the third book. I could only give this one 3.5 stars, because I did like it. I just didn't LOVE it as much as I did the third one. But still worth reading.
