Dear Dumb Diary #10: The Worst Things In Life Are Also Free (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
It turns out that if you accidentally skip this book and read 11 and 12 before you realize what you're doing, the world doesn't end and the story isn't even confusing.This one is as funny as the previous book (and at least of the subsequent ones). I always like the resolution to these stories and this one was no exception.My daughter just gave up eating meat about 3 weeks ago. I'm wondering what she's going to think of this book. (She hasn't read it yet, but is planning to very soon.)Note: Usually I think Isabella is pretty funny in these books. For some reason, she was extra-special funny in this one. Hi readers! Recently, I've read this book The Worst Things in Life are Also Free, By Jim Benton. This book is a diary type book, but the story is mostly about a girl named Jamie Kelly, wants to make money and own a amusement park and name it Screamtopia. She and her friends, Angeline, Isabella, and Emmily, are making money. They have lemonade stands, second handed things, and car washes. Emmily walked children on leashes, and called it child walking. And she made lots of money. And Angeline cut of her hair and donated her hair for money. So at the end, they have enough money to let their dream come true. The strategy I used while reading this book was asking questions. For example: Who did Angeline donate her hair to? Before reading the book, I used predicting. For example: I think that this book is going to be about being lazy and wanting to have money automatically. And after reading this book, I was making connections. For example: I used to want to buy a panda when I was younger. But I didn't know how to make money, and I didn't want to have a job because I was afraid it would be too hard. But when I got older, I understood that not everything can be bought. I'll just have to go to the zoo if I want to see a panda. While reading this book, I had many thoughts. One of my thoughts was "I think that Jamie is a weird person. Because why would you want a amusement park when you could go to one?" And I thought that Jamie is a very interesting person. Because, her sense of humor is sarcastic and it's not funny. I think that the author wrote this book because he experienced the same situation when he was young. I think that the theme in the story is about that not everything in life is free. Because in the book, it has been talking about money and the title is very similar to what the book has been saying. Sincerely, Jacqueline.
