I really enjoyed reading Dork Diaries 3. This book is about Nikki, Chloe, Zoey, and Brandon. It is pretty much the same characters as the other books in the series. In this book Nikki's friendship grows more with Chloe, Zoey, Brandon and more people. There is a new story where Nikki and her friends

There is only on problem, MacKinzie is out to ruin Nikki's life and her chances with winning the talent show. What will happen? Find out in Tales from a Not-So-Talented Pop Star.
This book is amazing and it show the life of a teen. Teens have to go through drama,family problems, and so much more. Rachel Renee Russell is able to put all of that in one series. This book keeps you waiting for more and rolling on the floor laughing. If the words won't keep you laughing the pictures sure will. The pictures and illustrations look like a teen drawled them and they go perfectly with the text. If Rachel Renee Russell writes another book, I want to be one of the first to read, her books are just that good.

Dork Diaries: Tales from a Not-So-Talented Pop Star is about a girl named Nikki who receives a tuition bill. The easiest way to earn a scholarship is to win the talent show, so she organizes a band and signs up for the talent show. I like this book because it is like a female version of Diary of a

Wimpy Kid, which I like. Also, I like it because she comes up with a strategy to solve a big problem. If I were her I would have told my parents first, but I would have also tried to solve the problem. I would totally recommend this book to other kids.

SOOOO much better than the last two. It's still a cliched rip-off of the ever-popular Battle of the Bands prize solves all protagonist's problems, but Nikki is far more likable in this one.
