This book is about a girl named Nikki Maxwell,she writes diaries and this about is about her diary life. She like to write about what happened today at school and whip does she like.

I really think people will like it. I suggested this book to people who like books kind of like comic and funny books. I really like reading those diary kind of book.

I recommend this book to anybody!

This book is great. Nikki Russell is going to a new school with no friends, not stylish clothes, and a terrible secret; the only reason she is there is because her dad exterminates the school! She is full of drama and flair, and exaggerates everything a lot. So when her first day of school is filled with mean girls, no friends, and unpopularity, I'm hardly surprised. Mackenzie seems bent on destroying Nikki, while trying to steal her crush, Brandon. It goes like this for a bit, until she befriends the scared of balls girls, Chloe and Zoey. She decides to enter an art competition, only to have her masterpiece splintered to sticks. But in the end, Chloe and Zoey and, unbelievably, Brandon! She won due to the tattoos she did on other kids in her grade. And it turns out, Brandon actually likes her! This is a fantastic book. I hope you can read it. And everything turns out good in the end!

love this book
