Same mean-girl formula, but great for reluctant readers.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (1 ):
Kids say (16 ):

An easy read, this installment revisits many of the same themes and situations as previous books. Most fans will be fine with the formula in Dork Diaries 11: Tales from a Not-So-Friendly Frenemy, but some may wish that author Rachel Rene Russell would develop different types of adventures for Nikki and her friends, such as when she transported them into a fairy tale land in Dork Diaries: Tales from a Not-So-Happily Ever After.

The illustrations, as always, are a delightful and whimsical addition to the text, and the series is great for reluctant readers.
