Dork Diaries

Book of the week again! Okay this isn't really a book, but I still love it. It's Dork Diares, Tales of a Not-So-Popular Party Girl by Rachel Renee Russell. Nikki is battling a fierce bully out to ruin her middle school life, stay popular, and impress her secret crush. She also(mainly) has to try to make an amazing Halloween dance out of nothing. Nikki gets into hilarious predicaments that make me cringe. Sometimes I can't believe that MacKenzie, the bully, can be so mean! You won't forget Nikki's last crazy scheme. She tries to paint 8-year-olds' faces for $150, dance with her BFF's, and hang out with her date, all at the same time! Nikki keeps you on your toes, waiting for the next laugh out loud idea. I have read this again and again and I never stop laughing. Dork Diares combines middle school social problems, love, and tangled messes that refuse to be strightened. This book will make you wince and laugh. And the pictures are half the fun. Adorable and wonderful, this is a good book for all pre-teens. -J.E.
