My nine-year-old daughter Penelope loves reading the
Dork Diaries novels. They are the story of an awkward middle school girl named
Nikki who is picked on by the cool girls and must find her way out of
mischief. The book is written like a
diary and has pictures throughout. Nikki is a budding artist and illustrates
her diary.
In Tales from a Not-So-Popular Party Girl, Nikki finds
herself in a mess as she is the people pleaser and she schedules herself to be
in three places at once the evening of the school Halloween party. Hilarity ensues. Mean girl Mackenzie continues to be a villain,
and Nikki is asked to the dance by her crush Brandon. I like that Nikki learned her lesson that she
should have just been honest with everyone up front. I also like that while Nikki does not think
much of herself, she is a good person that likes to help kids and is good to
her friends.
Overall, Dork Diaries #2: Tales from a Not-So-Popular Party Girl was a
light entertaining novel that was good for some laughs. It was a good book to read with Penelope with
all the stresses of COVID going on right now.
Book Source: I
believe I purchased this from Amazon.com for Penelope’s birthday.
