Kjære dumme dagbok for deg som liker Dustedagboka og Pingledagbøkene.Det var en gang et par helt normale, myke jeans. Helt til Jamie Kelly tok de på seg... På et blunk ble de til et par litt for trange, litt kløende og smått illeluktende jeans. Fortsatt ganske normale, altså. Bortsett fra ett pinlig problem: de var forhekset.Kan den forheksede buksa roe ned en hevngjerrig hund, overvinne Verdens Peneste Jente og gjøre Jamie helt uimotståelig for den åttende kjekkeste gutten på trinnet? Kan den være så mektig at den fører til massiv ødeleggelse og mulig skade synet på buksevitnene permanent? Eller er den forheksede buksa bare - eh... - forhekset (noe som uansett kvalifiserer til Pinlig Problem)?Bøkene er lettlest med korte kapitler og gjennomillustrert med sort/hvit-tegninger.Målgruppe: 9-12 år
