My Thoughts

       OMG, where do I even start? After reading this book I’m sitting here wondering how could I miss six books of hilariousness? HOW!?

       This Dork Diaries book starts out as Nikki Maxwell is still drooling over prom night when she is interrupted by a call from Trevor Chase about recording a song. But wait, there’s more! She even gets her own reality show! However, with all the things she has to do including dealing with the cameras following her and Mackenzie who was out for revenge, Nikki starts to wonder if it’ll ruin her friendship with Brandon, the guy she has a crush on.

       The book was well written and kept me going without yawning once. Although I loved Nikki and her humor, there was another character—not mentioning names— introduced in this book that was so funny I cried.  I absolutely loved how Nikki solved her problems as well as the conclusion to the story.

       If you want to dork out this summer, you’ll definitely want to read Dork Diaries 7: Tales from a Not-So-Glam TV Star.
