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.

this book is amazing I couldn't put it down 😄

a girl named Nikki got a new diary for her birth day and writes all about her friends and bully Makenze. She enters a art competition and has had her painting destroyed so her friends help her.

I did not particularly enjoy it. It was almost a rip-off of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, only for girls. It was kind of bland. So many Clichés! Not my first pick.

I love it

i read this book and it is awesome

awsome book!!!! awsome book!!!!

cool book i don't care whatever

I'm probably too old for these books but I always love to pick one up for a quick read :) This book is very funny and dorky, and if you want something quick to read on a car trip or at the beach this summer, I'd recommend this book!

I didn't really like this book because it wasn't my type of genre even though I like the Diary of the Wimpy Kid Series. I found some parts of it very...cringy but the other parts were nice to read. This is more of a girlish book so I wouldn't recommend it to you if you are a boy.

This book is about a girl who is starting middle school. Her name is Nikki and she writes in a diary. Her dad is a bug exterminator and she does not want anyone to know because she is so embarrassed. Nikki also found out her locker is next to a really popular girl, who hates her. Nikki wants to be like every other teenager and have a phone, but the cheapest one she could find was a big one. She has an annoying little sister that she tells the tooth fairy steals teeth. Nikki has many emotions just like many teenagers.

I love this book! Read the rest of the series... it AWESOME!!! It is about a girl named Nikki, and she is entering a new school. She has to face a LOT of drama and new friends named Chloe and Zoe.
