I prefer the great audiobook adventures!

Audiobooks rule!

my daughter loved the book.. I've continued to buy her more and can't say enough good things about this book/series. Your daughter will want to constantly read.

my daughter loved this book...

My daughter, 9, was super excited about the Dork Diaries books She looked forward to the release of the new one & and read the whole thing in the first 24 hours. The fun drawings and not too many words per page make it a pretty easy read for a chapter book. She loved it and will read it again and again....

I heart all dorks!

The second book in the series is even better than the first and that's hard to accomplish! Nikki is no less funny, adorable or dork-like than ever. I heart this series!! <3

CANT WAIT FOR MORE!

I pre ordered this book right away when I found out there was a sequel to the first Dork Diaries and I have been counting down the days to get it. I just got it and it was fantastic! I read it all in one day. It is so good to read. ITS A MUST READ

Great follow-up in the Dork Diaries series!

I was SO excited to hear that the Dork Diaries series would be continuing with this second book, Dork Diaries: Tales From A Not-So-Popular Party Girl. I adored the the first book, the author has such a way with humor that I think all her jokes are funny and I just adore Nikki! And the situations Nikki finds herself in, oh man, I'm not the target audience but they were hilarious! There is something about the way that Nikki writes her journal that is so innocent and genuine that she's instantly lovable. In this book nemesis MacKenzie really starts to show her claws so it's really interesting to see how Nikki will handle these situations in her polite and innocence manner. Nikki's friends Chloe and Zoey are also a great backup duo to Nikki and her crazy ideas! While I would have loved to have seen Nikki's little sister Brianna a bit more in this book, she was still as funny as I remember her from the first book. I can see the Dork Diaries series going on for a long time and with each book Nikki is maturing a bit more and learning new things about herself. I love how this book ended and it's set up for what I'm sure will be a great third book to the series! Can't wait to read it!

This is the second installment of the DORK DIARIES, the girls version of the DIARY OF A WIMPY KID books for boys. It is written in a diary form with drawings. When I told my fifth grade girls that I had the second book in the series, they got very excited, since most of them had already read the first installment. Nikki is the heroine of this series. She is in middle school and is a great artist. She has two BFFs, Chloe and Zoey, and a crush on a popular boy named Brandon. There is also a queen bee named MacKenzie. Nikki gets involved with the Halloween dance. She has to plan and organize it - and MacKenzie wants her to fail. The story is told in a very charming way and has a lot of good cultural references. You want to root for Nikki and boo MacKenzie. The story is a little unrealistic, but I still accepted it hook, line, and sinker. I enjoy this series and so do all the girls I have given it to. So curl up and enjoy this very funny story! Reviewed by: Marta Morrison
