Nayu's thoughts    
I remember when this appeared in the post because I had a huge smile on my face. I only have to see a Dork Diaries cover and be cheered up because Nikki's life is hilarious, I adore the antics of her little sister who causes trouble, makes me laugh a lot and just sometimes helps Nikki too. Knowing that McKenzie steals Nikki's diary had me more hooked than normal – it does take a while for that incident to happen. 

McKenzie is a bit of a diva, but getting inside her head made me realise why she acts that way some of the time. She might be rich and appear to have everything, but in truth she doesn't. I was a bit annoyed by the lack of maturity in some of Nikki's actions, hence the not quite perfect grade – I guess I shouldn't be surprised as she is young, but how she acted just didn't feel right for me. How she lost her diary was awful, and I adored how she got it back. I'm eager for the next book already!
