Mix well, put fingers over eyes, and CRINGE!

Settled in at her new school and flanked by awesome friends Chloe and Zoey, life is looking up for Nikki Maxwell, especially since her crush, Brandon, asked her to be his lab partner—a seriously awesome development. However, when Nikki overhears mean girl MacKenzie bragging that Brandon’s taking her to the Halloween dance, a bummed Nikki signs on to spend Halloween at a kids’ party with her little sister, Brianna, instead. After she finds out Mackenzie was lying and her dream of going to the party with Brandon could be a reality, Nikki has two events to juggle...plus plenty of other entertaining trials and tribulations along the way!

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 5-8–This book continues in the same vein as the first, sharing many of its flaws. In this installment, Nikki volunteers to help with the Halloween dance but overextends herself by committing to multiple duties in different places on the same night. Presented in diary format, the lined-paper pages and manga-style illustrations provide levity, but too frequently Nikki's adventures slip from amusing into improbable farce. The simplistic and highly unrealistic story; flat characters; and predictable ending will not appeal to readers who can handle the fairly advanced vocabulary. Strictly for fans of the first book.Natasha Forrester, Multnomah County Library, Portland, OR

I have 2 daughters and my now 15 year old read the whole series so now my 9 year old is reading the series. This series keeps them interested in reading as there are many pages with pictures and not just words which my daughter loves. The journal entries are age appropriate and funny. Any book that my kids want to read earns 5 stars from me.

Dork Diaries are a hit for Middle-schoolers
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2011
Verified Purchase
I bought this book for my granddaughter. She really loves the Dork Diary series and passes them along to her best friend when she has finished reading them! They are funny and fun to read and she is eager to start the next one as soon as she finishes one. I have read a little bit of each and find that the characters in the books are very typical young teens and have very typical experiences, conflicts and adventures. Since this is written in the first person, by the diarist, the experiences have the feeling of reality. They share her frustrations, successes, fears, school experiences, difficult relationships with others and special relationships with her best friends. One of the best features are the many black and white drawings that illustrate some of the diary passages. They are really well done. My granddaughter has been coloring some of them in with colored pencils. She said she shouldn't write in books, but I encouraged her to this time and it has been fun for her. This book (Dork Diaries: Tales from a Not-So-Popular Party Girl) is the second in the series and when my granddaughter finished it she was eager for the 3rd. I had already ordered it through Amazon. She was surprised that I had it ready to give her when she finished this one. I'll keep buying them as long as she is interested and as long as the author writes them. This series is really good for an early teenaged girl.

My 10 year old has never enjoyed reading before this book
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2014
Verified Purchase
My daughters bedtime is 8:30, but if she chooses to read she may stay up til 9:00. Before she would sometimes rather go to bed because she loathed reading. That is until Dork Diaries....Now she is disappointed when I go in to remind her to put her kindle away, for bedtime. Every night she says you always come in at the best parts!

This book is about situations young girls can relate too. I agree there are some things mentioned that I thought ... hmmm should that be in there? ( I also feel that way about Disney movies ) but it breezes right over her head; or has stimulates conversation with me, which is who she should be learning from. Thank you Dork Diaries for kindling my daughters love for reading, opening topics, encouraging young girls to embrace what makes them unique, and establishing self acceptance. We are now on book 3, only 3 weeks after starting the 1st book.

When you find a 250 plus pages book and see your 7 year's old daughter read it in a few hours, no matter how good or bad the content is, it is an excellent book just for the reading practice opportunity. Then, if you add that the content is really good and funny and well suited for a young girl, you can't go wrong. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in making her/ his daughter fall in love with reading from an early age

This book is a great book it is hilarious. Some parts are suitable for under 6 girls but the rest is fine. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes books which are short, have not a lot of words on a page and that the book has pictures. I really liked the part were Nikki got asked to go to the dance by Brandon , but I disliked the parts were Mackenzie Hollister is mean to the clean up crew by resizing from the chairperson and cancelling everything that was planned for it. This book has very funny bits which I loved. The most funny part was were Brandon put Nikki's rat head on and said how he felt about Nikki. I can understand what Nikki is going through with her love life. Because she can't think of what to say to Brandon which is like me because I don't know what to say to my boyfriend. I recommend this book to ages 6 and over because it can talk about how difficult life can be when you are older.
Thank you for reading my review on Party time (dork diaries) I hoped this review helped you!
