NY Times Bestseller
Dork Diaries – Tales of a Not-So-Popular Party Girl was written for tween girls, ages 9 – 13. I think they would find the characters funny and familiar. The plot is wild, wacky, and fun when Nikki commits to being with three different people on the Halloween night, the night of the big middle school dance: at the dance being the clean-up crew with her two best friends (also self-proclaimed dorks), doing face-painting on kids at another event (for which she gets paid $150 in advance!), and being on a date at the dance with her big crush, the gorgeous Brandon.
The book is written as a diary with some illustrations and is an easy, fun read for the target audience.
This is one of those books that I would not call quality literature but would still approve of my children and students reading it for the sake of reading for entertainment.
