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.

@notsogreatbooks, I disagree with you. I think that this is a perfectly fine series. Anyone agree?

its a great book

I think that this book is AMAZING! Since, I am a a girl, I think that this book/series is better than Diary of A Wimpy Kid. Of course, Diary of A Wimpy Kid is not a bad series. I also think that this is a good book for 5th graders, preparing them for middle school. I also think that Nikki Maxwell has problems that a lot of REAL middle-school girls have. Like being popular, for example. WARNING: THIS PART OF THE REVIEW IS A SPOILER! ONLY READ IF YOU HAVE READ THIS BOOK! Nikki copes with MacKenzie, but makes friend of her own [Chloe and Zoey] and is happy with them. Therefore, I think that it is an amazing book.

This book is a sad attempt to make a girly version of Diary Of A Wimpy Kid. Slow plot boring storyline and just flat out bad. If you want a good Diary Of A Wimpy Kid type book read Big Nate. This book is a waste of time. Do not read it. This is coming from a girl.

wow you are wrong it is much better than diary of a WIMPY kid that book is horrible this one is amazing i don't get the smelly cheese.it is a weird book
