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 L O V E this book i read this book like a thousand times and i am still not board of this book

I love it and the other 2 books it just goes to show that even if you think your dorky you can still be cool

this book looks really awsome and i cant wait to read this book AWSOME!!!!! love this book if i read it or not

The book was so good i always read my favorite part; when Nikki got into evil Mackenzie's room. Even though she's evil, she has an amazing room.

This was an AWESOME book! At first when I saw some other kids reading it I thought that it wouldn't be very good, but then I read it and it was AMAZING! I couldn't stop reading till I got to the end but then I read it again.

Okay, when this book first came out or when I first heard about it, I thought it would be a horrible book. "Just another one of those lame diaries." But my friend, Brianna, had all the books and kept talking about them. Finally, I got soooo annoyed!!!! I said, "Brianna, if I read the book, will you quit bugging me???!!!" She muttered in a low, "Fine...." So she offered me the book. I groaned but sat down to read the book so I could get it off my chest. After the first twenty pages, it was very interesting. After one hundread pages, uhhh..... AMAZING!!!!!!! Then, the book was finally over!!! :( !!!!!! I got so interested in the series and I know that any girl that is struggling with problems, READ THE BOOK!!!!!! It involoves dealing with her bratty sister (by the way, her bratty sister is named Brianna. LOL!!!!!), trying to get close to her crush (oooohhh la la), and dealing with Mackenzie, a stupid 'popular' girl obessed with lip gloss. I loved the book!!!!! :)

THis book is so entertaining and a good book to sit back with. So fun to read!!!! If you are in for just a funny relaxing boook, this is the one you want!!!

Dork diary is a good book. I did a report on it. I love this book so so so much.

Very funny! And I think that any girl can relate to the main girl in this book! It helped you deal with drama and friends!
