Book Review: Dork Diaries by Rachel R. Russell

Nikki's the new girl at an exclusive middle school, and instead of getting a super-cool cell phone that will help her get in with the popular girls, headed by snotty MacKenzie, she gets a diary to write down all the shame that comes with being the new girl at at an exclusive school with no cell phone.

I have to admit, I nearly abandoned this a few times in the early chapters because I am sooo not the target group for lamentations about not having the hottest cell phone. But I am glad I stuck with it, because there is a very sweet story arc and some hilarious scenes (the scene with Nikki's sister at MacKenzie's house and her fear of the tooth fairy is worthy of inclusion in a future *fantasy* season of the classic tv comedy Arrested Development, it is THAT absurdly ROTFL funny).

DORK DIARIES is available in paperback. Find out more about it and watch a book trailer at the publisher's website.
