Dork Diarie's - Sister Showdown! - Rachel René Russell

 


'Lately, Nikki’s little sister has been a TOTAL BRAT! But while Brianna is busy raiding her closet and taping a HIDEOUS drawing of Nikki on her bedroom door, Nikki has more important things to think out. It’s the end of summer and she has only 72 hours to completely reinvent herself before starting at Westchester Prep&hellip.

SQUEEEEEEE!! Nikki is determined to be the COOLEST, CUTEST, SMARTEST, MOST INTRIGUING girl at school. But when disaster strikes and Brianna gets hold of Nikki’s most cherished items… her phone AND her diary, her world is turned upside down. Will an unexpected emergency ruin Nikki’s fabulous start to the new school year or, worse, ruin her relationship with wacky BFFs, Chloe and Zoey, and cute crush Brandon?'

Okay, it's time for me to confess that I have never read a Dork Diaries book!  I know; I'm sorry!  So with a sunny Saturday afternoon to spare, I stretched out in the garden and jumped in.

I have to say that I really enjoyed the book.  The chatty style makes the book relatable and an easy read, and I loved the combination of illustrations and text.  

There's a lot going on in Nikki's world, not least of which is making sure she has the right outfits to create the best impression at her new school.  But then disaster strikes and Nikki's world comes tumbling down, and her little sister takes control of her diary.  

With strong themes about friendship, fitting in and family life, Sister Showdown is guaranteed to be another success in this hit series, and I'm now heading off to find the other books in the series to read.
