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.

I love this book so much i can read all the series in 1 day.

hi!!!i love this book i love the pics and it is super funny right and follow me if you agree

This is the best series ever

This is a pretty good book, although I prefer the other books better. I agree with the other people who reviewed low stars. Mackenzie is almost innocent! She is only making Nikki's life misarable, not doing things that are worse! Good book otherwise!

At my school library my friends and I checked out dork diaries everyday

This book is an easy book to read but it is a really good book too. The book is about a girl named Nikki and she has no friends but there is this girl named Mackenzie who is super pretty and almost everyone at the school loves her but she is mean to a lot of people mostly Nikki. But then Mackenzie goes too far and does something bad but then Nikki meets some people that help her get back at Mackenzie finally and realizes she is herself and she is perfect with all the help of a diary and 2 friends.

I really like the book. It talks about fashion, my favorite subject. I only read the first book. Really Awesome!
