I just finished the book Tales from a Not-So-Talented Pop Star (Dork Diaries).

At her school there is a talent show going on and she wants to sign up with her best friends Cloe and Zoey, then the mean girl Mackenzie comes up and says " I want Cloe and Zoey to be on MY dance team...more
When super-hot, super-cool diva, Mackenzie tries, yet again, to sabotage Nikki's plans, her talent-show practices go completely out of control. Mackenzie even steals away her two BFFs to be in her dancing routine. Nikki feels like she is lost and without any way to compete in the show.
But, she manages to find some super-talented kids to compete with her and it is a bonus that her crush, Brandon, decides to join the group. Mackenzie is furious and threatens to expose some humiliating video of Ni...more

Tales From a Not So Talented Pop Star is the the book after Tales From a Not So Popular Party Girl. This book is probably my favorite book of the series. But I probably said that about every book in this series!

This series has a lot of the kind of detail that I've been looking for! It's hilarious, exciting, plus it made me laugh to the point where I was rolling around on the floor because my stomach began to hurt.
I absolutely love this series and if there is yet ANOTHER sequel, I shall get my hands on it.
I love Russell's creativity and originality. I've never read a series like Dork Diaries. Russell's usage of voice is really well written, so THUMBS UP!!

Oh these books have yet to disappoint me! I love them! A couple years ago, I started reading the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series and I loved the way they were set up. Then I discovered the Dork Diaries! I loved them even more than ever! This is probably because these are more directed towards girls and Wimpy Kid is directed towards boys.

A talent show is coming up at the school. Nikki really wants to do something with her friends for the talent, but decides against doing so when Mackenzie makes it clear she'll do whatever it takes to win. Even if it is telling Nikki's secret to the whole school! And Nikki won't let that happen.
But at the last minute Nikki needs to enter the school talent show and win, so she can get a scholarship or she'll have to leave the school.

I love this series! Nikki is such a sweetheart and my heart goes out to her as she finds herself in one scrape after another.
The one thing that I love about this book is that you know that no matter how many embarrassing or horrible situations Nikki will find herself in it will all be fine at the end and she will no doubt have learned some kind of lesson to go along with it.

The third in the ever-growing Dork Diaries series, this one is just as funny and real as the other two, while also involving a school dance (WHEEEEE!!!!), a stinky rat costume, a pretty Juliet costume, two confused friends (Chloe and Zoey), an ever-strange little sister, and a cute crush who just might turn into something more. Things are looking up in this book for Nikki J (WHAT DOES IT STAND FOR?) Maxwell, but not if mean girl Mackenzie has her way. This one is just as crazy as the others, wit...more
What I think about this book is that is very great but sad because Nikki's band almost got kick out of the show because of the mean girl Mackenzie made the director not let them in. the good things is that Nikki got to go out with the guy she had a cruse on and he like her.But she will have a good time because she will be playing in the band with her cruse who that will p;ay the drums. The last thing is that she might get her chance to have a real boyfriend. I would recommend this book to girl t...more
This is the BEST BOOK! I love the fact that Nikki describes how embarrassing her family is and how she tries to prevent her Dad from going to her school to handle the 'bug problem' diabolical MacKenzie creates. ! Whenever I pick a Dork Diary up, it's like I AM Nikki Maxwell. That I go to Westchester and that I'm archenemies with MacKenzie, and that my best friends are Chloe and Zoey. Love it! I'd recommend it for girls who are starting middle school just for laughs. I love diary books like this...more
I love that I can say I bought this for my daughter, but actually, I love reading them just as much. They are fun and cute stories. My daughter, who is going to be in 3rd grade read this book in 1 day and is on her 2nd or 3rd reading of it. She loves sharing all the things that happen in the story. If I had anything negative to say, it would be that the use of "OMG" is something that parents of 2nd grade students in my area don't want their student to be saying. I like to recommend this series t...more

Dork Diaries By Rachel Renee Russel was a great book. The book really reminded me of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, just in a girl version. What kept me reading this amazing book was that the girls life kept getting more interesting each page. My reflection to her life is we both just got in to a new school and that its not exactly easy. I dont honestly think she was trying to be a popstar, I think she was just trying to prove a point and try to set things right. I am looking forward to the next book, Do...more
