Dork Dairies is an awesome book series for mostly any grades and ages.I've read about 7 or 6 of them,and I love the books.I think I can relate to some of the things throughout the books.Some things are realistic and other's aren't.I love the fact that the author continues to write these books one after the other.She's amazing,and I hope this series continues for a long time.

Dork daires is an awesome book! It's full of adventures , mysterys of life. It's about Nikki,her friends cloe and zoey, her friend Brandon, how Nikki fights for a new iPhone. New school, new crush, new mean girl, new dairy. Nikki can spill all about it!

when i first heard myself read the books of dork diaries i was saying my first words that was ma pa and i had a book in my crib so i open it and i start to laugh and i said the books words i read it loud and correctly

Is it just me or the voice actor for Nikki is the same person who acted out Junie b jones? I used to love the siries when I was little

When I first saw it I was sure it was a kind of an sequel to "Diary of a wimpy kid" books. It turned out to be not related, but still great! I feel sorry for Nikki because her luck and everything, but I love the drawings and who you can laugh at by reading it. I now have the audiobook.

When I first decided to read it I was unsure. Would I like it? Yes! It was a great book. A lot of drama but a happy ending. But it wold be more for girls. The main character is Nikki and her enemy is Makenzie. Ok no more spoilers! Enjoy the book!

this is my favorite book

now i know how it will feel in 8th grade

I love these books. I like all the things Nikki has to go through
