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!

I really like it.even though I finsided the whole series.I was pretty funny I think that Nikki and brandon make a cute couple.do you think so.

SPOILER ALET! So this book is kinda confusing. In the beginning Chloe Zoey and Nikki TP their enemy Mackenzie Holister's house. They are worried they might get expelled but why would they get expelled? It's not like the school would care XD. But other than that this book is pretty good.

I read It 4 times, I really like the York diaries series and I recommend this book because tell scout how Nikki write in newspaper

I love dork diares. This book was awesome I recommend it if you like funny books. It was funny and I don't want to spoil it but please read it.

Just like an average dorky teen, Nikki has an arch nemesis named MacKenzie Hollister, who is the most popular CCP (Cool, Cute, & Popular) girl in school. ... Nikki worries that a harmless prank she and her two best friends, Chloe and Zoey, played on MacKenzie might get them, or even Brandon suspended from school.

This book is so good. I love it when Nikki Chloe and Zoey toilet paper Makenzies house. If my friends gave me that dare WOULD NOT do it.

Lol she has a crush on BRANDON ❤

I’m a dork so this makes me feel better

😂I have read other Dork Diaries books so I think I will enjoy this one very much, and I mean loads and loads and loads. My favourite book is the Skating Sensation. The front cover is hilarious, she looks like she is about to fall over! Brandon seems really cute too!
