Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Alexis G.

I read the book Dork Diaries: Tales From A Not So Fabulous Life. This book is by Rachel Renee Russell. In the book a girl name Nikki goes to a new private school, Westchester Country Day School. In Nikki's opinion finding friends, classes, and where to sit at lunch is a challenge.  Also Nikki hates having a locker next to Mackenzie( aka the mean popular girl.) At least she gets one good thing for right now.  She might get to meet some friends. One of the cruelest parts is that one day she ALMOST missed a ride to school.  Another cruel part is when she gets trapped in Mackenzie's house.  She also gets to experience what it is like to be a normal teenager.  She has an annoying little sister Brianna. I think the author did a good job of explaining things clearly.  I had a great picture in my head of what was going on.   One thing Rachel Russell could have done better was to explain why Mackenzie is always so mean to people.  I think girls 10 and up who enjoy funny and cartoon style stories would love this book.  My overall rating is 4 stars out of 5.  Dork Diaries is a fun, quick read.
