Nayu's thoughts
I squeed when this came in the post as I adore the series, and looked
forward to more Brianna antics. There were barely any, which compared
with other books was disappointing because sbe usually causes oodles
of mayhem for Nikki. Not that Nikki ever needs more mayhem, there is
always plenty thanks to MacKenzie who haunts Nikki on her school
placement event. It was interesting finding out where MacKenzie got sent to, as I wondered if it was different from Nikki's school. It is luxurious, but it seems that the mean girls are in a different league to Nikki's school, including MacKenzie.
While Nikki occasionally pushes MacKenzie's buttons
MacKenzie knows how to do everything wrong to get fhe best outcome
for herself. However Nikki had to help MacKenzie a little which
caused both of them some anguish, but was the only way to sort things
out. The ups and down of being a teen get a humourous angle in this
series which never fails to make me laugh through both the story and
the distinct illustrations which tell what's going on in Nikki's head
extremely well. I so hope there will be another book, this time with more Brianna! Or, better yet let Brianna have her own series!!!!!
