OK if you like The Princes Diaries, your gonna love this book. The main character, Nikki has moved to a new middle school and Nothing is going smoothly. The most poplar girl( most mean girl is more like it ) hates her guts for no reason in particular it seems. And then there's this boy named Brandon ( with the best hair ), maybe he likes her. If Nikki can just win the art contest at school, she thinks all her problems will be solved. But then she has so many problems just with that. Now I won't tell you everything, you'll just have to read it your self.

This is such a funny book! The drawings are very funny, and so are all the characters. I like it a lot, but don't necessarily recommend it. The plot is a little cliche, and it gets a little boring after a while, because each book is basically the same as the lost with different wording choice. You have your mean popular girl, your main guy, your main shy girl... It's not that original and has near to no description. But if you want a light read, this is good for you.
I didn't care for this book. I think the characters treat each other poorly. The girl, Nikki, will do anything to get popular and the girls are mean to each other. I would not recommend this book!
i love this book but i only have 1 and 11 which I like but not as much as book 12
This book is very funny and exciting. The book is made so it's in a diary format. So you feel like your reading someone's diary, how cool is that?!?!!?! Anyway, there is a girl named Nikki and she just joined a new school, and there's this girl named MacKenzie who is a popular, and this book is about her life. This book is AMAZING!
i read this book a couple years ago it was okay i guess not the best book though this is the only book i have read from her
A funny book that is a fun and interesting light read, it has a lot of jokes, and fairly relatable characters. It also features pictures. Good for ages 8 and up.
Really great Sometimes I act like Nikki And I love the plot twist and the characters are funny and relateable Keep up on making good books
Really great Sometimes I act like Nikki but this chapter book makes me question what she does and what I do kinda funny but I love it and the plot twist and more and the characters are funy and relateable And it's so cool but one question: why do you put I think my mom is BRAIN DEAD it's kinda rude that's all I has to say keep making great books!
I think this book is so relatable to real to real life situations. I think this because at some point in our lives we look at ourselves like Nikki does. I think that is what makes the book so interesting even though it is a little easier book to read. The parts where it really connects to real life really shows you how we have the same mindset sometime. I would give this book 5 stars just because it is so fun interesting and it is so relatable for all ages.
