Dork Diaries: Tales From a Not-So-Friendly Frenemy

In the fiction book Dork Diaries: Tales From a Not-So-Friendly Frenemy by Rachel Renee Russell, Nikki is the main character who is an outgoing and nice girl. She is assigned the same school as her archnemesis Mackenzie Hollister for Student Exchange Week. When she’s there, she realizes that there are even meaner students then Mackenzie. Nikki has some conflict in the beginning with Mackenzie, but then starts to become friends with her. Towards the end she got yelled at by Makenzie because she got framed by Tiffany, the meaner girl, for writing “Bug Girl” on her locker. The problem is that Nikki’s friends all got assigned to the same school, except for Nikki. So Chloe, Zoey, (NIkki’s best friends) and Brandon were having fun at Brandon’s friend’s school. In my opinion, this book was great because it had drama like having to go to the same school as Mackenzie for Student Exchange Week. She had to go to Mackenzie’s school otherwise she had to go to summer school. There was also some mistakes like Nikki not having enough money to buy this super good facial cream for her student I.D., so she made her own and turned her face blue! It was so good, that it made me not want to put the book down! It held my interest the whole way throughout the book because it had drama and unexpected things like getting yelled at and spray painting lockers. Something unexpected in the plot was Tiffany spray painting Mackenzie’s locker, then Mackenzie yelling at Nikki because she figured Nikki did it because of their history. -Shae
