I liked this book a lot. The author has a really easy to read style, and the illustrations are funny

Great book It’s like diary of a wimpy kid But a girl as main character

this book is about a girl who goes through many challenges during her first year of midiel school. this book was so good. recommend this series to start

I really enjoy these books. They are like the girl version of Diary of a Wimpy Kid. The Dork Diaries series is about a girl named Nikki Maxwell who is a middle school student who faces popular Mackenzie Hollister. She also has a younger sister who bugs her. The story begins on her birthday when she wants an iPhone but instead she gets a diary and Mackenzie bugs her about it. If you like Diary of a Wimpy Kid you will LOVE Dork Diaries.

This book was a high school tale about a girl who faces challenges in her first year. This book was very interesting and I could barely put it down. I highly recommend this book to others who are looking for a new series to start.

Dork Diaries is a pretty cute and funny series. All of the books involve her trying do something with her crush Brandon. The reading level is pretty low.

This book is the first in an amazing series. I own almost all the books, including this one. The book is about a girl named Nikki Maxwell who's a little dorky. She's has a locker right next to her worst enemy, aka the worst person ever (Makenzie Hollister). In the beginning of the book, Nikki's mom had a surprise for her. Nikki expected it to be an awesome and new iPhone. To her surprise, it was a blank book. Then she realized that her mother got her a DIARY! Everyone posts their diary online! And that is where this story begins. Nikki met her best friends in gym class. Zoey and Chloe were on her team for volleyball and let's just say that they are terrified of balls. Basketballs, tennis balls, soccer balls, and even ping pong balls! That is when their amazing friendship started. If you like to read or even don't like to read and if you're a girl, then I'm 99.9% sure that you'll fall in love with this series.

This is a fun loving book filled with humor and the struggles of a 14 year old girl. Nikki Maxwell is uprooted from her school and put into a private middle school. Her father got her a scholarship as part of his extermination job. She doesn't like going to Westchester Country Day, she feels like she doesn't fit in. To make it worse the most popular girl Mackenzie has been doing everything she can to make her life at school miserable. Luckily she makes two friends Chloe and Zoey.
