Me myself I love to read and this book about this "dork" was a good book. I read it when I was in second grade and I enjoyed it. The book is filled with overflowing emotions for her. Many people can relate to this book because of the situation and the cruel "popular people". I recommend it to any children I the grades 3-7. When I read it In second grade I was a little too young for it.

I read this book back in fourth grade and it was good but not great. It was a quick read, but one thing that I like to see in all books is some sort of relativity. That makes the book attractable, and makes any plot twists better. I could not find that relatable feature in this book which kept me from enjoying it more then I did.
dork diaries is a great book for the age it says. it is a book about a girl named Nikki and she deals with the ups and downs of her school. one book that i have to say is very funny.
i love this book and nikki maxwell is my favorite character in the book.
this book is amazing!! it is so good! it is about this girl is new to a school and she doesn't have any friends and then these two girls come up to her and start talking to her and then they become good friends
Nikki is a girl that I thought would be similar to me because I home school and was thinking about going to a private school. The book is a good idea, but I do not like the way Nikki writes about herself and her parents in the diary. I wish she had more of the dorkiness of someone beyond awesome! I could not connect with Nikki. Nikki is boy crazy and is always wanting stuff. If she is smart, she makes us look bad. The words were sometimes really confusing, mean and hurtful. Not a book I will read the others in the series.
It was rally good. But a little sad. I have read every last one down the the last letter THEY ARE SOOOOO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I am sad that here are not more.

This book tells the stories of a not-so-perfect girl named Nikki. she goes to a boarding school and makes two friends and an enemy. Her besties are Chloe and Zoey. They help her through everything.
Rachel Renee Russell starts the adventure of Nikki Maxwell with this book. As Nikki attends a new private school, due to her dad's extermination contract, Nikki does everything in her power to prevent people from finding out. She makes new friends, Chloe Garcia, and Zoey Franklin who help throughout the story, whether it's defending her from Mackenzie, helping her with the Avant-Garde competition, our spying on her and Brandon Roberts, you know they'll be there. IN the end, Nikki learns that it's cool to be a dork! I give this book five stars because Russell uses humor and things many of us could relate to too tell the story.
