In the fourth book of the New York Times bestselling series that’s as popular as it is dorky, Nikki Maxwell is determined to help out her crush!
Nikki Maxwell isn’t at all surprised to find out that her crush Brandon volunteers at a local animal shelter. He’s such a sweet guy—of course he wants to help those adorable puppies! Then Brandon tells her that the shelter is in danger of closing, and Nikki knows she can’t let that happen. Especially when she discovers a shocking secret about Brandon that makes keeping that shelter open more important than ever. So Nikki and her friends Chloe and Zoey enter an ice skating competition to help raise money for the shelter, but (big surprise) Mackenzie has to stick her nose in and cause trouble so that she can be the one to swoop in and save the day. No way will Nikki let that happen: She’ll just have to come up with some extra creative ideas this time!

This book is my favorite out all of my Dork diaries! This book is about how Nikki skates in a ice skating competition to win the prize money for her crush's favorite store, Fuzzy Friends. Mackenzie however also decided to help but Nikki's crush didn't want her to help him . Will Nikki save Fuzzy Friends or will drama queen Makenzie?
Nikki finds out that a animal shelter is closing so she and her firiends enters a ice skating contest to earn money for the shelter so it won't shut down. But Makinze tries to take over.
Nikki and her best friends Chloe and Zoey are in gym class when the teacher announces that they will be participating in Holiday on ice, a performance to raise funds for a charity of choice. Nikki has everything planned out when Mckenzie, the mean girl tries to sabotage her performance. it was a good book and I really recommend it.
Niki Maxwell is 15 and in eighth grade. One day she takes a shower. Her little sister, Brianna, keeps bugging her. Niki tells her to go away. Then, Brianna is talking to someone on Niki's phone. Niki doesn't believe she is. Next, Niki jumps out of the shower, and chases Brianna down the hall. She snatches the phone, and finds it is Brandon,her crush. Brandon asks if Niki and her bffs Chloe and Zoey want to go to his birthday party. Niki is soooo embrassed. Then Niki goes to school and find out from her gym teacher, that the school gets to compete in a ice skating competition, and can earn money for charity. Chloe and Zoey ask Niki if she would do it with them with the theme of their favorite book. Niki has to say yes, but Niki can't skate!! Later, Niki sees that Brandon is very sad. She finds out it is because the animal shelter he loves and works at, Fuzzy Friends, is closing. Niki decides that if she wins, she will donate the money to Fuzzy Friends. When it is time to start practicing skating, a celebrity skater named Victoria Steel comes to coach the skaters.

At the charity event, Mackenzie Hollister, their enemy, locks them in the closet. They find a way out, and win the charity money, and save Fuzzy Friends.

Second, this book is about the star of the series, Nikki Maxwell, and her friends as they try to win money for a charity that they want to help, but things take a turn when her enemy, Mackenzie Hollister, tries to ruin there chances of winning the contest!
