I like this book because, I understand that Nikki has a stressing life.She came across these mean girls at school and especially MacKenzie is making fun of her about what she wears and everything. But she's lucky right on time she gets cool new friends and this book has so much DRAMA.The book is kinda fun. I read the second book before but not the first. I really like the second book, I'm so exited to read the 3rd book of the Dork diaries series but I would not recommend the 1st book its a little boring but mostly fun. And I would rate this book a four star. I liked it 99% of the time, so I gave it a four star. The other books of the series is interesting I believe because if the 2nd book is interesting the rest will be interesting too.

Nikki Maxwellis moving to a new middle school, and instead of giving her a phone,(the thing she wants most,) her mom gave her a diary. At first she hates it, but then she starts to fill it with all her adventures in middle school. All around hilarious and i totally relate,( to a degree)

This book is about a girl named Nicki Maxwell is is going to start a new middle school. She doesn't really fit in and is considered a "dork". I and my friends love this series, and can't wait when new books come out. It is considered one of my favs, and all the characters are interesting. 5 stars!
I really liked this book because it made me laugher in so many parts in the book. I would totally recommend this book and rate it s 5 star. That's how much I love this book.
Dork Diaries 1: Tales from a Not-So-Fabulous Life Is a book about a girl named Nikki Russel who starts a private school because she gets a scholarship from her dad working on the schools' bug problems, and how her locker is next to the most popular girl in school.
I dont really enjoy dork diary that mcuh but this was proably one of the best books I have ever read in that series. It had more humor and it was really fun to read to any siblings or cousins I really enojed this book hope more come out soon.
This book is a pretty funny book. I don't recommend this for older children, this is a better book for 3-5ish graders. But I do have to say it isn't all that bad.
Nikki Maxwell is a typical cliche teen. She begs her mom for an iPhone, but gets a diary instead. She starts in a new school, has a crush, and tries to stay away from the mean girl. I didn't really like this book, and I probably wouldn't recommend it.
Not my favorite book, that's for sure. Nikki was just a cliche teen. And I thought she was kinda sassy as well. If you like dork diaries, you would probably like this book, but i didn't.
