I like how nikke hold the drama so I wish if nikke tells everyone how she feels and break up with Brandon. And she will hates boys from a youtube video

Dork Diaries 1 tells the story of an awkward, dorky tween, Nikki Maxwell, who is not exactly popular. Middle school life is cruel, and her enemy, the popular girl Mackenzie, flirts with Nikki's crush, makes it even harder. And, to top it all off, the only reason why Nikki is going to this rich kid middle school is because her dad is the school exterminator. He drives a van with a big old roach on it!

I thought this book was ok. It wasn't really what I was expecting. I think girls would really like it though!

This book is a really good novel to read. With characters like Nikki, Mackenzie, and Brandon all mixed in this book, it gets super exciting and super romantic for two characters.

Dork Diaries is a very good series! I love how she wants a phone but her mom inside got her a DIARY!! We meet the mean girl in the first girl and get to know her more as the series goes on.
