Nikki Maxwell starts a new school, a new diary and a running commentary on both in Rachel Renée Russell's first Dork Diaries book.
Simon and Schuster Childrens Books publishes this paperback at 304 pages, with a reading age of nine and up. The format is the draw: handwritten-style diary entries broken up by cartoons, doodles and lists, so the page never looks dense even when the book is long. Russell writes about the ordinary machinery of middle school, friendship, embarrassment, wanting to belong and the gap between how a day feels and how it looks to everyone else. Readers who finish it tend to want the rest of the series immediately.
Before you add it to the cart:
• First book in the Dork Diaries series, the place to start
• 304 pages mixing diary text with drawings on nearly every spread
• Suggested for readers of nine years and up
• Illustration-heavy layout that suits children put off by solid text
A strong pick for middle-grade readers and school libraries, published by Simon and Schuster Childrens Books and available at Boipoka.
