This is book is funny and for kids 5 and up. Nikki wants to win an art competition, but her painting gets crushed, will she win, read it to figure out
I love this book, dork diaries are the best.
Wanted to find a book series about girls, not mean girls! Being bullied last year, this book really disappointed me. I have all the first 4 books in the series and plan to read them all. I am glad that I don't have friends like this or that I am like this. This may be real for Nikki and the other girls written in the book, and maybe even some of the other girls reading it. But when you live it, you don't want to read about it, too!
Dork Diares is a really good series about a girl named Nikki Maxwell, who is starting a new private school. All she wants to do is fit in with the CCP’s (the cute, cool, and popular girls), but it doesn’t work out. The CCP’s leader, Mackenzie Hollister, hates Nikki, and when you add in boy drama, friend feuds, and her weird family to the mix, Nikki has to deal with everything to try and make it through the year. I would recommend this book to kids of any age, because it is different and fun to read a whole story through a diary! :)
I agree. You described the series PERFECTLY!!!
it was cool and good
This book is about the time when Nikki a girl just starting middle school has the need to get a phone. She begs her parents for one and ends up with a telephone that you usually find in the street. She was also caught by the fashion police for not wearing a good clothes. What more troubles will come along her way? Read this book to find out!
I honestly LOVE dork diaries! I own all the books and have read them all. This book features Nikki Maxwell trying to survive middle school. She is at this private school on a bug extermination scholarship from her dad who is an exterminator. At first she has no friends then she meets Chloe and Zoey. But she also meets queen bee MacKenzie Hollister and gets a locker right next to her. Read the book to find out what MacKenzie does to Nikki and if Chloe and Zoey stay her friends.
Humorous, entertaining, and infinitely dorky, "Dork Diaries" features Nikki Maxwell, The New Girl At School. Nikki doesn't fit in at her new private school, Westchester Country Day, and would rather die than tell anyone that she only got into the preppy institution because of a bug extermination scholarship arranged by her dad. Instead of gossiping and giggling and trying to be cliquey, Nikki prefers writing in her diary during class and dishing the dirt on her true feelings about her classmates. When Nikki meets Chloe and Zoey, however, her life will be forever changed. Maybe Westchester Country Day isn't such a bad school after all.
Another perfect description!
