Description

The book follows the life of Nikki Maxwell as she navigates the ups and downs of middle school, her crush on Brandon, and her life as a reality TV star. Nikki's school is holding a talent competition and she can't wait to start practicing dance moves with her BFFs, Chloe and Zoey, and impressing Brandon, her crush. But then Nikki finds out that her arch-nemesis, MacKenzie, is entering the contest too, and she's determined to steal Brandon from Nikki and win the contest. Nikki Maxwell might just get her first kiss with her crush, Brandon, in this seventh installment of the #1 series. It’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid for girls in this hilarious novel! Everyone’s been rooting for me and my crush, Brandon—and now I can FINALLY write all about what did – or didn’t – happen with our first kiss! Sighhhhh. There’s a LOT happening right now! A reality TV crew is following me and my friends as we record our hit song together, plus there are voice lessons, dance practice, and my little sister Brianna’s latest wacky hijinks (they NEVER end). I’m sure I’ve got this…but I hope all of this excitement won’t cause new problems for me and Brandon…eek!! The Dork Diaries series has more than 13 million copies in print worldwide!
