Actually, don't make fun of Isabella in general. Berserk Button: Do not make fun of Isabella's name.Of course, she has no clique, hangers-on or regular friends (until you can count Jamie), is friendly to all the school 'losers', shows no concern over her social status, and while an excellent manipulator, uses said power rarely and generally 'for good'. She eventually turns out to be a legendary outcast who rendered her school uninhabitable in a desperate gamble to go somewhere nobody had heard of her and make friends. The Ace: One book's plot is essentially about an Ace showing up: somebody who (by Everyone Looks Sexier If French) is prettier than Angeline, more vicious and destructive than Isabella, and more spontaneously artistic than Jamie.The Problem With Here is That It's Where I'm From.In the end, Jamie learns a valuable lesson (though it may not be the one you'd expect).Īs of the 10th book, Jamie has now finished her six years of the seventh grade. The three girls spend their seventh grade year getting into wacky situations, whether it be (supposedly) haunted pants, student-teacher creepy crushes, money-raising schemes or teacher's relationships, often at the hands of a plot built by Isabella.

The main character, the unpopular brunette, is a rather selfish and mean-spirited girl (this goes quadruple for her best friend Isabella), while the so-called Alpha Bitch Angeline is consistently shown to be kinder, smarter and a more supportive friend. The books, in a nutshell, are a mixture of Xanatos Gambits, strange events and humour just sailing on Rule of Funny, and frequent deconstructions and parodies of common School Tropes. The books are presented as the diaries of Jamie Kelly, a middle-school girl with a very interesting view of the world.

PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.ĭear Dumb Diary is a series of children's books written by Jim Benton ( also known as the guy who created Happy Bunny). DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace.

All new trope pages will be made with the 'Trope Workshop' found on the 'Troper Tools' menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.

Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup.

All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the 'fair use' licensing to an image may have it deleted.

Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so.
