Bookroo's summary

Jamie Kelly's diary reveals her hilarious misadventures with a haunted pair of thrift-shop jeans. These pants might soothe a vengeful beagle, challenge the school's prettiest girl, or attract the eighth cutest guy. But are they truly magical or just a smelly nuisance? As Jamie navigates these bizarre events, she questions the true power of her peculiar pants. Dive into her world of humor and mystery, where nothing is as ordinary as it seems.

From the publisher

Read the hilarious, candid (and sometimes not-so-nice), diaries of Jamie Kelly, who promises that everything in her diary is true – or at least as true as it needs to be.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)?
