Along with all the other books in it's series, it's pretty funny and is a great story. I highly recommend it for 6-12.

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.

The illustrations are good, but the book isn't the best. It's really cringey, and it's almost all about crushes and phones and petty rivalries. It's SUPER cringy, and by 3rd grade I hated this book already. The whole series is just super outdated. It might of been good in 2009, but in 2022?
I like it is a tiny bit cringe but I recommend it.
OMG! I really like this book! Its funny, creative, and just the best!!!! I think that you should read this book!
Ya you are right
my favorite book series
This book was my childhood favorite, but now its a bit cringe. I would recommend for 12 or younger since it would be getting boring after then.
Am in love with this book OMG
