Think lockable diaries are just for girls? Think again . . .

From the Coke or Pepsi? universe, comes the official Dude Diary!

Our DUDE! book spawned so much interest in interactive books for boys that we were asked to create a diary for boys. But we all know boys hate mushy-gushy diaries. So we created the coolest UN-diary on the planet!

Introducing . . . Dude Diary

The perfect solution for all “dude kind!”
The ultimate non-diary, non-journal that boys will actually want to write in, draw on, and lock up. That’s right! Dude Diary comes with a lock and key so all the awesomeness can never be leaked out.

Dude, if you’ve got a sister who’s keeping secrets in her locked diary, and you’ve suffered from “lock and key” envy . . . then this book is for you!

Dude Diary is officially not a journal or a diary. It’s just a place to write some stuff down, draw some things, and even tear pages out if you need to. Kinda like a Captain’s log of your life – in your neighborhood, under your bed, at school, and in other dimensions. And that’s not all. Let’s say you have a genius idea for a really sweet invention which will make you super famous some day. You can draw up the plans in here and then lock it up, dude. (Cuz you need to hide your genius ideas from all those other not-so-genius dudes.)

Written and designed by Mickey and Cheryl Gill, the genius minds behind our other Coke or Pepsi? books, this book guides you through record keeping like no other book that’s come before it. With awesome graphics and creative questions you’ll be prompted to:

• list all of your favorite candy bars and tape an empty wrapper inside
• write about the most awesome video game ever
• decide whether you’d rather have a robot or a clone
• perform human experiments and record your findings
• think, draw, write . . . and more!

Dude Diary is available NOW exclusively at Barnes & Noble through 12/31/09. We’ll have it for sale here in our own online bookstore on January 1st, 2010.
