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 series was great, and Rachel is writing more books, but they kind of bored me out.

At my school, all of the girls (and some boys) are lucky to even get their hands on the first Dork Diaries because all of the people who want to start reading the series, take the different copies from the library. This book is Nikki Maxwell's diary. Her best friends are Chloe and Zoey, and her crush is Brandon, her sister, Brianna, is crazy, and Mackenzie is her arch enemy. So if you like comedy, drama, and romance, I totally recommend this book!

I didn't really like this book. It was kind of boring. Diary of a Wimpy Kid is much better.

I love this book. Nicki is SO much like me! I really like the whole series too! You should read them all!
