I would love to read this book but I don't have more money!

this book is awesome!! i totally recommend it !!

I'll be honest....I was skeptical of reading this book. I thought it was going to be mean spirited, and make the reader feel depressed. But I was wrong! This book was funny and the drawings were SO good! Nikki's day hadn't started too good- who wants to get Brianna's missing sandwich on her brand new outfit? But her day turns extra bad when in gym, Mackenzie hits Nikki right in the head, super hard with a dodgeball! Nikki falls into a magical world and sees that the story characters are....her friends and family! Will Nikki get out and get back to the human world? I rate this book 3/5 stars. Happy reading!

This fairytale that Nikki Maxwell gets into is one of the most fab stories I had ever heard!!!!!!!!!!

This is a book in the Dork Diaries series, and it is super funny! Nikki is bonked in the head... hard! When Mackenzie hits Nikki in the head with a doge-ball, she gets transported into a magical world! How will she get home? Read the book to find out! Happy Reading!

Nikki Maxwell gets hit by a ball in gym class, thrown by her arch enemy, Mackenzie Hollister. She there lands in fairy tale land and must return back home. There she meets a fairy godmother, goldilocks, Red riding Hood, Prince Charming, the evil Witch of the West. But wait, they all look FAMILIAR!!

Nikki's day is not off to a good start. She realizes the stares she gets in the hall are not a good thing, it turns out her sister's sandwich was on her sweater. To make things worse, her sister also drew something on her phone case. In class, Nikki had to write a fairytale. When she gets to P.E., Mackenzie throws a ball at her face really hard, causing her to lose consciousness and fall into a fairytale dream. I recommend this book to people who like the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, or people who enjoy the other Dork Diaries books. I rate this book 5/5.

After a bump on the head by a dodgeball thrown by MacKenzie in gym class on April Fool's Day, Nikki Maxwell has a wild dream in which she, her BFFs Chloe Garcia and Zoey Franklin, her crush Brandon Roberts, and mean girl MacKenzie all end up playing the roles of some familiar classic fairy tale characters. I can't believe Mackenzie would do that!
