A note for parents
This is the sixth book in the wildly popular Dear Dumb Diary series, aimed squarely at middle-grade readers. The humor is age-appropriate and diary-based, focusing on Jamie's jealousy and social anxieties when a seemingly perfect new student arrives. While Jamie can be catty and sometimes unkind in her inner monologue, the series gently explores friendship, acceptance, and self-worth without heavy themes or inappropriate content.

Everyone's favorite Mackerel Middle-Schooler, Jamie Kelly, is back with another hilarious, candid (and sometimes not-so-nice) diary! There's a new girl in at Mackerel Middle School. Colette is friendly, fabulous, smart, totally talented, and an all-around amazing individual. She is more brilliantly diabolical than Isabella, as blindly loyal as Stinker, and even harder-to-resist than Angeline. It's enough to make Jamie throw up a little. And Jamie just can't help but wonder: Is it humanly possible for a girl to be more perfectly perfect than the most perfect girl in the world?
