Summary from Simon and Schuster
Let the spotlight showdown commence...
Nikki Maxwell's school is holding a talent competition and Nikki can't wait to start practising dance moves with her BFFs, Chloe and Zoey, and impressing Brandon, her crush, with her singing skills!
But then Nikki finds out that her arch-nemesis, MacKenzie, is entering the contest too, and she's determined to steal the limelight from Nikki and her friends. Can a dork like Nikki take on the most popular girl in school and win?
Nayuleska's thoughts
I've
probably said this before but I adore this series! Nikki's life yoyos
around so much that on the same page you'll laugh and cry. Her ability
to think up plans to get out of trouble are admirable and crazy. As much
as she dislikes Brianna at times, the sisterly bond is awww worthy,
especially at the end. Everyone needs friends to get away from bullies,
yet Nikki discovers what it's like not to have her friends around which
was a sad moment. There are all sorts of feelings readers can relate to
in this amazing read.
