    The other Dork diaries are better 👍 The only reason is cause Nikki Called her mom brain dead 😡 For those younger readers, DO NOT CALL YOUR MOM BRAIN DEAD! ☝️

    it something that kids shouldn’t read, The main character is a brat she calls her mother brain dead just because she didn’t get a cell phone and called the diary a stupid book then she thought there was a phone in that book she’s also rude to don’t get those books for you Children unless you’ve read them first

    So Nikki has no idea why Mackenzie hates her but I do! I searched it up and it’s because Nikki is very close with Brandon! I mean I wouldn’t like someone close to my crush. I remember I was close to this guy named Alex but I liked him as a friend not a crush. THEN THIS NASTY GIRL NAMED NICKI ( that’s how her named is spelled) CAME UP TO ME AND SAID STAY WAY FROM ALEX! I was like geez #gotgirlproblems? Sooo Mackenzie doesn’t really need to act this way. Nicki if you see this, YOUR RUDE AND UGLY YOU LITTLE BRAT! NO WONDER YOU STAYED BACK IN 3TH GRADE WHEN WE WENT TO 4TH GRADE! BECAUSE YOUR DUMBEST PERSON ON THE PLANET! I DONT KNOW HOW YOUR KIND SISTER BELLA CAN LIVE WITH A BRAT LIKE YOU! YOU ARE TWO FACED AND ONLY ONE CAN BE PRETTY! Byeeeee

    I didn’t like the part about a guy who was taking his eyes out in the pencil and his yucky sandwich 🤢 🤮 Oh and remove the Young Annabelle series in the similar series section and make the genre into kids in all the dork diaries books
  • AGREED WITH CORPA ZIL AND MON86

    I like this series but... Nikki acts so ungrateful all the time!she is probably the luckiest girl in the world! She says her little sister is so horrible but I envy her because I have 3 brothers and no sisters! She should be grateful because I would give any thing to be in her place just for one day! What I do love about the series is that the drawing style got better and she still screams and squeeeeeeeees!!! A lot but she does get a bit more grateful. Also, the series is funny.(especially the firth one) have a nice day
  • Well…

    It’s a good book but it’s shouldn’t be for teens. I read this like In 3rd grade now that I’m older and reading this, it’s really annoying. Uni girl is just 7-10 maybe so I’m not even going to worry about what she writes but she shouldn’t be like Nikki. Nikki is super ungrateful and has very little morals. She only cares about herself cause she’s just doing random things that think it looks cool but is going to get her in trouble, Nikki calls her mom brain dead for not getting a phone, I mean of course you’ll want a phone but doesn’t give any rights to call the women who gave birth to u brain dead, saying squeeee and omg is childish, this book is not the actual experience for middle school, it’s not actual event you’ll go through, need more diversity, only Chloe is Latina and I think Zoe is mixed with black and white, the art work is ok, this is a kids book so of courses I don’t expect Pablo Picasso art, mean to Brianna, Brianna isn’t even bad shes a little kid after all, Chloe and Zoe are really good friends, Brandon obviously like her, she shouldn’t run away from her problems she should’ve just went to the office and told what Mackenzie did, Mackenzie isn’t even all that so nikki shouldn’t make the world revolve around her, and this book may be aimed for a younger audience but how Nikki handles things and how she acts is basically like Mackenzie if she is just a lower rank from her, Nikki also expects designer clothing at 14, like I have Michael Kohl’s at 12 but it’s because it was a gift and earned it, Nikki is just demanding it and she didn’t really do anything to deserve designer stuff and a phone, she only in that school from a scholarship from her dads company so nikki thinking her dad is rich,!demanding designer clothes is getting old, Nikki is ungrateful from what she has, she has a house, a family that does not neglect her or make her a disgrace, and she goes to a nice school with good education! This is my opinion and people saying things like “you shouldn’t say that” or something like that it won’t make me change my opinion, if u like the book, u like the book, if you don’t that’s fine too but it’s not like we’re going to be put into jail from stating an opinion. This is a good book but to easy and needs to be more realistic

    Sorry to all the people who love dork dairies but I just don’t like the book. She is like….REALLY ungrateful because she says in the book that she wants to yell at her mom saying “I don’t need some STUPID DIARY” instead of the new phone like….your mom brought you something so be grateful. And like you’re mom can’t READ YOUR MIND SO SHE WONT KNOW what you want! And the girly style is SO NOT my type. And like she says her life is a “bucket of puke” like you have your own tv show! You went on a tour with a boy band and got art contest winner! I agree with I love my family. I just realized uni girl’s review okay ummm she’s so bratty and u wanna be like her!? I would hate to be her honestly. And I would ABSOLUTELY hate to wear Nikki’s ugly clothes.
