Some people keep diaries to document deep thoughts. Jamie Kelly writes hers to survive middle school without exploding.

Never Do Anything, Ever is part of the wildly popular Dear Dumb Diary series by Jim Benton—a brutally honest, hilariously exaggerated, and somehow totally accurate look into the daily dramas of a middle school girl who knows everything… except how to act normal.

This isn't your typical "dear diary" fluff. It's chaotic, cringey, and clever. Jamie navigates frenemies, fashion emergencies, cafeteria disasters, and the occasional philosophical crisis—like wondering why people ever bother to do anything. At all. Ever.

As Jamie says:

"The only thing worse than gym class is everything else."

The humor is sharp. The drawings are ridiculous in the best way. And every entry feels like reading the thoughts you were too afraid to say out loud when you were 12. Or maybe even now.

This book is gold for kids, tweens, and even adults who remember just how awkward and epic middle school was. It’s honest. It’s messy. It’s relatable.
