Bookroo's summary

Jamie thought the Student Awareness Committee was history, but Angeline's newfound interest in adult matters revives it. As Jamie navigates this unwanted revival, chaos and hilarity unfold. Will she survive Angeline's mission, or will it lead to unexpected revelations? Dive into Jamie's world where nail polish mishaps and adult-like awareness collide, creating a whirlwind of comedic challenges and unexpected twists.

From the publisher

Bestselling author Jim Benton is back, continuing a new spin on a favorite series!Dear Dumb Diary, Just when I was pretty sure we could let the Student Awareness Committee quietly die a dignified death like some majestic old elephant or the Square Dancing Club, Angeline has to be aware of something. Great.And, of course, it couldn’t be something interesting like nail polish or why maybe there should be a special class in nail polish and how to get it out of your beagle’s ear. (Mom, if you’re reading this, I’m not admitting anything. Somebody else could have painted a heart in his ear.)Angeline just had to be aware of one of those THINGS THAT ADULTS LIKE.
