Dork Diaries are about a girl named Nikki who writes a diary about her everyday life. She just moved to a new school. She really doesn’t fit in, but later she meets two new girls, Chloe and Zoey who later become her best friends. I personally did not enjoy these books, they were much too boring for me. I like a good mystery or adventure…
