Dork Diaries #2: Tales from a Not-So-Popular Party Girl by Rachel Renee Russell


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.
