Holiday Heartbreak sits at number six in the Dork Diaries sequence, continuing Nikki Maxwell's running account of middle-school life in her own handwriting and sketches.
As with the rest of the series, the story arrives as diary entries broken up by drawings and comic panels, which keeps the pace brisk and makes the page count far less intimidating than it looks. Social pressure, friendship trouble and the gap between how things feel and how they look to everyone else are the recurring concerns.
Considerations for gift buyers:
• The sixth entry in the Dork Diaries sequence
• Illustrated diary format with handwriting-style text
• A standalone read that also slots into the wider series
• Pitched at readers moving into longer illustrated fiction
A good fit for middle-grade readers already following the series, available from Boipoka.
