Nikki Maxwell wants more than anything to be a part of the CCP (Cute, Cool & Popular) group at her new school, Westchester Country Day. But it’s hard to do when your clothes are all wrong, your parents won’t buy you the new iPhone, and you feel invisible. Well, that and the only reason she’s at this fancy private school is because her dad is the school’s exterminator. So things start to look up when the school announces its annual Avant-Garde art show, and Nikki is sure she’ll be popular once she wins the contest. What she doesn’t expect is the most popular (and mean) girl on campus to enter the contest as well, and make her life miserable! With the help of some new friends and a new crush, Nikki manages to make a name for herself, even if it means embracing her inner dork. Written in the style and spirit of Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Russell’s Dork Diaries will make you want to embrace your inner dork as well.
