Dork Diaries By: Sophia

                  Tales From A Not So Dorky Drama Queen

Name of Reviewer:  Sophia 
Title of Book:  Tales  Of  A  Not  So  Dorky  Drama  Queen
Author of Book:  Rachel  Renée Russel
# of pages:  331
# AR points:    4.0                               RL:  4.9  


       Tales From A Not So Dorky Drama Queen is about  a girl named Niki Maxwell who lost her diary.  She is afraid that a girl named Mackenzie Hollister will find it and make it hers.  What I like about this  book is that once you start to read the book you will have to keep reading.  If I would change something from this book  I would change nothing because the book is already great.   I was Niki, I would know it was Mackenzie automatically. If I would pick one juicy word to describe this book, I would pick Worry-less because Niki stays strong. I recommend this book to people who like adventurous books.

If you like interesting and mystery books, Tales from a Not-So-Talented Pop Star is the book for you. In the beginning of the book,there were a lot of bugs at Nikki Maxwell’s school but the problem is her dad is the school exterminator and she does not want him to come to her school. The only reason she goes to her school is because she got a scholarship when her dad became the school exterminator. Nikki tells the principal that her father is too busy and can’t come to exterminate, so she loses her scholarship. Read the book to see if she gets her scholarship back. I loved this book because I love reading  interesting books and this book is definitely interesting. Every time I picked the book up I could never stop reading. If I was the author, I would not change anything because the book is already amazing and there is nothing for you to fix. If I was Nikki, I would just tell my parents if I lost  my scholarship because if they found out I lost the scholarship they would be mad I did not tell them. If I could pick one juicy word, it would be fascinating because the story is really fascinating and  definitely a good book to read. So, make sure to read Tales from a Not-So-Talented Pop Star once you start reading you will never want to stop, trust me. So, make sure after you finish reading this post, go to your local library, school library if you go to school, or click the amazon link above.

“Tales From A Not-So-Popular Party Girl” is a FABULOUS book about a girl named Nikki Maxwell who is starting middle school. Nikki has three friends Chloe, Zoey, and her crush Brandon, plus the popular girl Mackenzie Hollister, who is ruining her life.  I loved the book because it was really dramatic and funny to read. If I  could change anything about the book, I would not make Nikki wear the rat costume because it made the book a little confusing because Nikki had to keep on changing her costumes. If I was Nikki, I would just tell Brandon, Chloe, and Zoey the truth so I wouldn’t have to go through all the trouble of changing her costumes  all the time.  One juicy word to describe the book would be dramatic, but a good dramatic. I really recommend “Tales From A Not-So- Popular Party Girl” to anyone that likes dramatic and funny books.

       Tales From A Not-So-Dorky Drama Queen is a hilarious and entertaining book with humorous adventures about a middle school girl named Nikki Maxwell. I absolutely enjoyed this book because I like books that are funny and amusing, but also have crazy adventures. If I were the author, I would change nothing about Tales From A Not-So-Dorky Drama Queen because this book is spectacular and there is nothing to change! If I was Nikki Maxwell, I would’ve solved the problem by suspecting it was Mackenzie Hollister who stole my dairy. So, I would have somehow taken the book back away from her. If it belonged to me, I would have told the principal. One juicy word to describe Tales From a Not-So-Dorky Drama Queen is ADVENTURESOME because this book may be comical, but it also has a lot of adventures in it, too! I recommend this book for ages 10 and up. Read Tales From a Not-So-Dorky Drama Queen, and it will change your life forever!

Tales From a Not-So-Popular Party Girl By: Daniela

Tales From a Not-So-Popular Party Girl is the most humorous book I’ve ever read in my life! I thought Tales From a Not-So-Popular Party Girl was a great book because I felt so sneaky since it felt like I was reading someone else’s diary, and I also like that the author, Rachel Renèe Russell, made Nikki Maxwell, the main character, very creative! Like when Nikki came up with a Tooth Fairy Repellent for her little sister, Brianna. If I were the author, I would change that Mackenzie Hollister doesn’t steal Nikki’s duffel bag with her clothes in it under the stall in the restroom, at the Annual Halloween party, because that’s not fair to Nikki. So many bad things have happened to Nikki and so many good things have happened to Mackenzie Hollister. If I were Nikki Maxwell, I would tell Chloe and Zoey that I couldn’t be trash bags for Halloween like they wanted to and tell them Brandon asked me to the Halloween Dance and I don’t want to look embarrassed. If I could pick one juicy word to describe Tales From a Not-So-Popular Party Girl, I would choose dramatic because this book is so dramatic because Nikki is dealing with bratty Mackenzie Hollister, Brandon, her annoying sister, her parents, and Zoey and Chloe, her immature best friends.  Even if you are not a big fan of books, read Tales From a Not-So-Popular Party Girl, and you will end up falling in love with this series!

If you love dogs like I do, you should read  Tales From A Not –So Perfect Pet Sitter. This book is about a girl named Nikki Maxwell and her two friends, Chloe and Zoey.  One day Nikki and another one of her friends, Brandon, go and get a cupcake. They find one big Golden Retriever and her seven puppies outside the dog  store. The dog store doesn’t have space for them so Nikki and her friends take care of them until the dog store has space and Nikki has trouble taking care of the dogs. I wouldn’t want to change anything in this book because it all makes sense. And if I where Nikki Maxwell I would have told my parents about everything that happened.  I would describe this book in one word and  it would be FANTASTIC because it has a problem that is solved in a funny way. Remember,  if you like  dogs you should really read Tales From A Not-So Perfect Pet Sitter!
