Nikki Maxwell authors an advice column for the school newspaper in this fifth book of the New York Times bestselling Dork Diaries series.

Nikki Maxwell develops a sudden interest in student journalism that may or may not (okay, definitely does) have to do with the fact that mean girl Mackenzie has started writing a gossip column. And there just might be some juicy info involving Nikki’s crush, Brandon, that Nikki doesn’t want Mackenzie reporting to the world. So Nikki joins the school newspaper staff—and ends up as an advice columnist! It’s fun at first, answering other kids’ letters. But when Miss Know-It-All’s inbox is suddenly overflowing with pleas for guidance, Nikki feels in need of some help herself. Fortunately she has BFFs Chloe and Zoey on her side—and at her keyboard!

OMG I mean, not to sound like MacKenzie, but this is soooo fabulous! :) I <3 this book!

i want to read it so bad

Nikki suddenly really wants to do journalism at her school. It may have to do with the fact that mean girl Mackenzie is writing a gossip column in the school newspaper. Nikki wants to make sure that Mackenzie isn't writing trash about her....or that she is hooking up with Brendan. So Nikki joins the newspaper staff-and ends up in an advice column! It's fun answering kids' letters anonymously and seeing them succeed at first , but when Miss-Know-It-All's box starts overflowing with letters, Nikki needs help. But BFF's Chloe and Zoey are always there for her and are at her side at once. I recommend this book and series for tweens who like humor and realistic fiction.

I have a friend and we love these books so much we are going to send a letter to the author to write more
