SOOO NOSTALGIC 

Nikki is living the life OMGG all this in middle school and while that obsessed girl (Mackenzie) is trying to ruin every single opportunity she gets it’s honestly sad she can’t focus on her own life

I loved this series since book 1 but sometimes the plot seems unrealistic. for example how can a girl in middle school get a reality TV show and a record deal?!?!?!?!?!?! it just feels like this couldn't really happen but I guess they don't call it FICTION for nothing LOL

I know what you’re thinking – she’s reviewing another Dork Diaries book?? Why yes, I am. I review most every book I read. I like having the review to look back on if I forget what the book is about – which happens often! And since my daughter is way into Dork Diaries right now, you can expect even more reviews after this one. There are twelve books in the series right now and a new one comes out in October.

Tales from a Not-So-Glam TV Star is book seven but I think it can stand alone. Not surprisingly, it has roughly the same broad plot points as Book 9: Tales from a Not-So-Dorky Drama Queen, the other book in the series I’ve read. Firstly, Mackenzie schemes against Nikki. This time it’s because Mackenzie is jealous that Nikki scored her own reality TV show after her band appears on Trevor Chase’s show. Mackenzie wants to be famous and on TV too. She and Nikki are horrible to each other. Secondly, Nikki and her crush Brandon can’t seem to get their acts together so that they can spend time together.

I didn’t like this book as much as Drama Queen. I think it’s because it was so unrealistic. How many middle-schoolers have a band that’s good enough to get on national TV and spawn a reality TV show? That didn’t seem to bother my daughter though and that’s what matters. I just picked up a couple more books in the series for her at a used book sale so look for more Dork Diaries reviews in the future!
