I loved this book but at some parts it was cringey Would reccomend

This book is well suitable for kids that are in 2nd to 5th grade. This is because it gets them excited about joining middle school, which is great. even though the book is about NIkki getting bullied, it also shows how she adjusts to the new school and make new friends, which comforts kids that move to new schools. It talks about common things that happen at school, like having a crush, bullying, making new friends, arguments with your siblings, etc. It is very funny and encouraged m start writing a diary too.

I think this book was amazing it had enough of the real world in it that it was like the characters were actually alive. Over all the book had a lot of drama but I still really enjoyed this book.

It was okay, when I was kid, I didn't read it in order either. I really enjoyed the series as a kid but I'm older now and think it's to much of a kids book. I know it's targeting kids my age, about anyway but I was into it when I was little, I mean third forth grade, I just don't like them anymore, I was still pretty good. Welp, the's my oppion. What you think is what matters, I just suggest it for younger kids, like seven to ten or eleven. No offence to anyone older then that still reading the books. My opinion don't matter, none of ya know me don't take anything I say or write to heart.

I loved this book because I love frogs and water and jokes. They have a frog statue in this book that they make really fun. My favorite part is when the frog was doing the jokes for pretend. I love you books so much.

this i dont know if its good or bad but this is my life -

In this book I think it has been my favorite because I love books like this. Like the riding and what the storys are about. My favorite part is when they do the class. This book is about friends and how you can do so much with great friends like the girls in this book.

This book was intresting. I kinda wish it was a bit better.

This is a good book, but i needed help reading some of the words. I am in first grade and the reading level is a little high. The main character is Nikki and she is in middle school. Her drama and being boy crazy is basically the whole story. The diary of a wimpy kid has more interest for me and I can relate more to that book.
