Meet Nikki Maxwell! She’s starting eighth grade at a new school—and her very first diary packed with hilarious stories and art in this SUPER SQUEE updated edition of Book One of the #1 New York Times bestselling Dork Diaries series!

Nikki confesses all in her first diary ever: her epic battle with her mom for an iPhone, meeting her new soon-to-be BFFs Chloe and Zoey, falling for adorably sweet crush Brandon, dealing with her zany little sister Brianna’s antics—and the immediate clashes with mean girl Mackenzie, who becomes Nikki’s rival in a schoolwide art competition.

I love this book so much. Nikki wanted a cell phone so badly. She thought her was going to give her a cell phone but instead she gave her a diary 😁 but let me not spoil it read it!

This is amazing! It's about a girl named Nikki. Also Chloe, Zoey and brandon! And the mean girl Mackenzie! In this book Nikki faces a lot of problems with the bully! Like her art picture she worked on for a contest got smashed by Mackenzie! She also has some boy drama with brandon! I think this was a great first book! I reccomend it a lot! Read it pls! And she also get's embarased cause of her embarsing dad too!

This book has it all the mean girl, cute crush, the unpopular main character and the best friends who are alway there for you and the humour plus the many books in the series is just another reason why this book is AWESOME😀.
