Summer is here, and that makes everyone at Mackerel Middle School very happy. But what happens when a few of the students have too much time on their hands…and not enough money in their pockets? Sneak a peek inside the diary of Jamie Kelly to find out!

Kidsreads.com gave away 15 copies of THE WORST THINGS IN LIFE ARE ALSO FREE, the 10th installment in Jim Benton’s hilarious series. Congratulations to all our winners!

DEAR DUMB DIARY #10: THE WORST THINGS IN LIFE ARE ALSO FREE by Jim Benton
School's out for the summer, and that means no more Meat Loaf Thursdays, Sunday homework-cramming, or teachers (way way unsuccessfully) trying to act cool. It also means that certain Mackerel Middle Schoolers have a lot of time on their hands…and seriously empty pockets.

Isabella is going to change all that. And Jamie and Angeline are going to help --- whether they like it or not. It's the best kind of teamwork: When a whole bunch of people work together to do something wrong, instead of doing it wrong one at a time.
