Dork Diaries: Tales from a Not-So-Happy Birthday by Rachel Renee Russell. This book is about these 3 girls, Zoey, Chloe and Nikki. Nikki  is the main character. Nikki is going to have a luau party but there is a problem. The party is going to be canceled because her mom is ruining her party and she is very stressed. Later in the story Chloe has the invitations she made for the party and while she is gone the invitations are gone. 

My favorite character is Nikki's little sister Brianna. She is very funny and adorable and I love how she tries to make things for her sister. I can relate to this story because once I had a birthday party.

Dork Diaries: Tales from a Not-So-Dorky Drama Queen by Rachel Renee Russel

 

Dork Diaries: Tales from a Not-So-Dorky Drama Queen by Rachel Renee Russel is a great book!!  Why, do you ask? Well Dork Diaries is a teen event book and it has events that you might have experienced or made connections with before. It would make a fantastic movie in my opinion. but if you go on the author’s page they have a podcast.  

You might have a connection with this book that you might have experienced too because the girl in this book Nikki, is being bullied by this girl Mckenzie. You might have experienced getting bullied and you would make a connection with this book. You might have ups and downs like Nikki too.

The title describes it because it is a teen Diary and that teen is Nikki. Nikki has a lot of crazy events in her life but it all makes it worth it in the end. This book will remind you of a regular teen movie.  This book kind of connects to me because once my diary was taken but it wasn't from my bully, it was from my sister! 

I would recommend this book because there's so much drama in Nikki's life you won't believe it, but in this typical book NIKKI GETS HER DIARY TAKEN AWAY AND EXPOSED! Look at the rest of the series and find out more about Nikki’s life!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Deep End

The Deep End is an amazing edition to the Diary of Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney. My favorite scene is where Gregory the main character has to hide from this kid who told the park ranger that Gregory made a mess at the condiment section, so he dives in the pool and holds his breath until everyone rushes out of the pool because- {Spoilers}. It adds a lot of suspense which is a great example of how beautifully written this book is. This book is mainly about a trip that Greg and his family went on, which has many exciting moments.  Its tone is just like what a middle schooler would write, but it is fiction even though it seems real.

This funny book reminds me of the time I went to NH with my dad and crazy stuff happened to us{Which is also where I read this book}. This is the 15th book from the series, which shows how much people love this series. This is so far my favorite book in this wonderful book series from Jeff Kinney. I 100% recommend this book to all ages and everyone.

Dear Dumb Diary, Let’s Pretend This Never Happened by Jim Benton

Dear Dumb Diary, Let’s Pretend This Never Happened is written by Jim Benton. Jamey has her own diary about her life and she has her good days and her bad days. She writes everything down at school, and at home. She writes about her friends, her mom and her dad too. There is this girl, her name is Angeline. Jamey thinks she is a bad person, but maybe she is not, maybe she is really nice. Read to find out.

It is a very good book and that is why I am writing about it. Jamey likes school a lot and I like school too. I think it is very fun because you get to learn something new every day. It can be fun, if you make it fun. I like school because you learn something new every day and when you go to school, you get to see your friends every day.

If you're a girl who likes to read about middle school, or reading diaries, or even writing a diary, then Dork Diaries would be a good book for you to read.

When Nikki wants to sign up for a part in writing the school newspaper with Brandon, a few things hold her back, including MacKenzie. If you want to find out what the problems were and how she dealt with them you're going to have to read and find out!

I personally liked this book because when I read the first book I had no idea what it was going to be about. I kept on reading to the end of Dork Diaries and I liked these books, because the books that I’ve read so far have been all happy endings. Also the author describes the place and what happened to Nikki so well it feels like you're actually there with her. If you read, or like Diary of A Wimpy Kid books, the Dork Diaries books are very similar.I really liked this book and I suggest you also read it if you're interested in these types of books!

Tales From a Not So Happy Heartbreaker by Rachel Renee Russel

So, Dork Diaries: Tales from a not-so-happy heartbreaker, by Rachel Rene Russel is about a girl her name is Nikki and a sassy girl named Mackenzie. They fight over a boy named Brandon. Who will go to the dance with Brandon? It also tells you about her life and everything. There is one part I don't like. It’s the part when the Gram comes in and talks to the girl. It was annoying.

My opinion about the book is that it is a really good book and it is just like my life. Also I like it because I would love to go to prom. My world and her life are similar because I have a brother, but she has a sister and they kill me. Not really, but annoy me a lot. I mean a lot, but otherwise it's okay. When she is annoyed, that's like me.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney

Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney is a good book. Gregg writes in a diary because his mom did not get him the one that said journal. Instead, she got the one with “diary” on it. In Middle school Gregg has to sit next to morons.

I think this book is so funny, because Gregg’s brother pranks him a lot. Roddrick wakes his brother at midnight and gets in trouble. Even his dad scares him in the kitchen. That's why you should read this book.


Review by PIZZA MASTER



As generic as it is, my book is Diary of a Wimpy Kid, by Jeff Kinney. It is a book about a middle school kid named Greg Heffley. Greg has troubles with his parents and brothers, Rodrick, and Manny, mostly being Rodrick messing around with Greg. His best friend is Rowley Jefferson. Together they get into all sorts of trouble through the many books in the series.

I think this book is pretty good, It's just enjoyable to read, unlike other books I've read. Right now, it's just that one book that every kid loves. And again, something about it makes it really fun to read, It could just be that it's a good book. ANYWAY, in a nutshell this is a good casual book to read for fun in your free time - (In my opinion at least).

Review by: MemeLord

Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a funny and interesting book.  This story is about three brothers and their lives. It is mainly about the middle brother Greg.  Greg asked his mom for a journal and she came back with a diary.  That’s how the book gets the title, diary of a wimpy kid.  Greg’s best friend Rowley is not up to fashion and Greg wants to be cool so he tries to change him.  I hope you read to find out how Greg’s life turns out.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days by Jeff Kinney

The Diary of a wimpy kid Dog days by Jeff Kinney is about a boy named Greg who tells you about his vacation. He doesn't like the outdoors and he loves playing video games. One day during the summer Greg’s friend Rowley invited him to a country club that his friend Rowley goes to. After a couple weeks Greg is not invited anymore because he was complaining about the littlest things. In my opinion, Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days is probably one of the best series ever made. I have probably read this book 20 times. I hope I gave you enough information about this book and I hope you read it and like it, like I do. By: DJ Curty Kibbles  

Diary of a wimpy kid dog days by Jeff Kinney is about a kid named Greg. It's summer and everyone's outside and Greg is inside playing games. His mom makes him join a reading club and at the end he realizes that he had fun, even though he wasn't inside playing video games.

My opinion about the book, Diary of a wimpy kid, is that it is fun and interesting to read. A couple of things about the book is that it can happen in real life and there is a series of books that Jeff Kinney wrote and made movies about the books. It can relate to life because sometimes I will play video games for 3 hours straight, and things won’t always go your way. I think that other people should read the book because it is very fun to read and it is really interesting.

Big Dog


In Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days by Jeff Kinney, Greg always wanted a dog, so he tries to persuade his parents to get one for his birthday. The story takes place mostly outside because Greg’s mother persuades him to go have fun outside.  But he really wanted to play video games.  The author’s message is if you put your mind into it, then you will get what you want.  I like this book because it is very funny.  The book reminds me of when I begged for a dog, then after a while I got one on my mom’s birthday.  I would recommend this book because everyone likes Diary of a Wimpy Kid books.
