Product Description
They were just a soft, ordinary pair of thrift-shop jeans until Jamie Kelly tried them on . . . Then they became a tight, scratchy, slightly smelly, and utterly ordinary pair of thrift-shop jeans with an embarrassing haunting problem. Do the pants have the power to soothe a vengeful beagle, vanquish The Prettiest Girl in the World, or make the wearer irresistible to the eighth cutest guy in the grade? Are the haunted pants so dazzling they can hurt and maybe permanently damage the eyes of onlookers? Or are the haunted pants just, well, haunted (which is kind of gross when you think about it)?

 Entertaining July 1, 2008
I first came across Jim Benton with his sensational The Invisible Fran (Franny K. Stein, Mad Scientist) and other books in that series so eagerly went in search of more of his work. Of the titles in the Dear Dumb Diary series this looked the most interesting and am glad to say the quality of the Franny K series was still there, in fact an additional nice suprise is this book is about three times the length of any of those. However to be honest Dear Dumb Diary is not quite at the masterpiece level of the Franny K. It's still a worthwhile purchase though.
In My Pants are Haunted we the reader get to snoop inside the diary (if we ignore the warnings, death threats and commands to stop reading now!) of school girl Jamie Kelly's diary. Now this is second in the series so I'm not sure if it is better than the first but it is funny. In My Pants Are Haunted Jamie tells of her war against her beagle who in retaliation for not giving him food scraps under the table seems to be having his vengeance by chewing holes in her pants in order of their coolness. Of course it is not acceptable at all to wear the same jeans two days in a row but as more and more jeans appear with holes in them Jamie is having little choice. So she is amazed when one day her mother buys for her the coolest looking pants ever. However as soon as she wears them to school accidents start to happen, her popularity on the cool scale goes from middle to lower. She loses lab partner and love interest Hudson Rivers, happen immediately it is not long before she starts to theorise the pants are responsible. She's also got the mystery of how the hottest girl in school's brothers and sisters seem to be changing in appearance on a daily basis.
Great illustrations inside as well!

Kids have you heard of the book DEAR DUMB DIARY? Well if you haven't, this book is funny. Also it is interesting because the girls in a middle school fall in love with Hudson, the cute guy in the school. Even though I think he looks ugly in the picture of him on page 7 of the book.
Three girls decide to give another girl a much needed makeover. This is a part of the book I mostly enjoyed. Make overs are when someone changes their way of dressing. The girl who gets the make over, Margaret, wears the same thing almost everyday. Two girls, Jamie the main character and the author of the diaries & her best friend Isabella take Margaret shopping and buy her new popular clothing. After Margaret becomes popular she decides to go back to being herself and to wear her usual clothes and Hudson notices her.That's when the problem begins.
Well,I think you guys should read this book because,when you are feeling down you can change your mood to a happy one.
I recommend this book to girls 7 or older because it is written as a diary.

Do you like funny books? I have a book that will crack you up! My book is called My Pants are Haunted. It is about a girl named Jamie Kelly who writes in her diary. She writes in her diary about school, her parents, her dog Stinker, her friend Isabella, a mean girl Angelina, and a boy she has a crush on named Hudson. She gets new pants for school. She gets holes in her pants. She gets really upset because they were her best pair of jeans. This book is a series. I think this is a funny book. So get down to your nearest book store and get this book.
