LOL! I loved this book so so so so much and so I recommened this book to you. It is about a girl named Nikki and to me i think that she has a compicated love life.

this story is like nice because it is talking about surviving middle school

this was a fun version of middle school, in a comic style. this was about nikky Maxwell and her life through her first year in middle school full of fun twists and turns i would reccomed this for anyone who enjoys a good laugh.

Nikki Maxwell is starting eighth grade at a new school and this book is her personal diary of the funny and disastrous events that she continuously finds herself in. I would compare this book to the girl's version of Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I recommend this book to kids who enjoy reading easy-to-read books that are funny and authentic and highlight true coming-of-age experiences that a kid goes through. I rate this book 3 out of 5 books.

This book was awesome! The author did a great job of portraying the real middle school experience in such a humorous way. There is drama, boys, and three best friends that stick together throughout Middle School. I loved it!

I love, love, love this book!!!! Its got romance, its got drama, and its got humor!!!!! The next books in the book series are amazing too!!! full of drama and Romance!!!!!!

I wonder what this is about, oh wait, I think it is about a girl that has a hard life .

I thought the book was so funny! I liked the illustrations and how they weren't always illustrating the book but also adding more to the story and making funny comments.

i dont like this book because its about girls. i think it has to much DRAMA. i like the other series for boys better. from jaden 07

I love this book! I like how Nikki, the main character has the same crush as Makensie, the popular kid at her school. It's also really realistic. Can't wait to read the next book!
