Nikki Maxwell, star of the Dork Diaries, gathers more fans with each new book and it’s easy to see why sales now run into the millions.
Girls everywhere identify with Nikki, whose efforts to do the right thing are so often derailed by the realities of life, and whose inner self is so much more confident and articulate than the Nikki the world sees.
In this book, her arch rival Mackenzie Hollister, apparently gone for good at the end of the last book, makes a surprise and unwelcome return, and Nikki and love-interest Brandon get landed with a Labrador and seven puppies to care for – in secret. The story is told in breathless teen-speak and frequent Wimpy Kid-style cartoons add to the fun. Another up-tempo warm-hearted read.
Welcome to Nikki Maxwell's aDORKable world and the mega-selling Dork Diaries series - now with over 50 million copies in print worldwide!
Read the full description
When the animal shelter Brandon volunteers at (how cute is he?) is too full to take a litter of abandoned puppies, Nikki decides to look after them until the shelter has more room. Simple, right? UMMM NO! Her parents won't allow dogs in the house so Nikki has to hide the pups at home and take them to school in secret ... but the dogs are a lot harder work than they look - and messier too! Is Nikki's plan going to end in a pawfully dorky disaster?
Praise for the Dork Diaries series:
“Hits the spot with teenage girls worldwide” The Sun
“Spot on for the tween market” The Bookseller
“The Dork Diaries series is fast becoming my favourite for younger readers ... More please!” Wondrous Reads
“A tantalising series” Waterstone's Books Quarterly
Rachel Renée Russell is an attorney who prefers writing children's books to legal briefs (mainly because books are a lot more fun and pyjamas and bunny slippers aren't allowed in court). She has raised two daughters and lived to tell about it. Dork Diaries was her debut novel and there are now over ten books in the internationally bestselling series which has appeared on the NYT bestseller top ten non-stop for over a year, and which has over 19 million copies in print worldwide. Her new book The Misadventures of Max Crumbly was published in June 2016. Rachel lives in northern Virginia with a spoiled pet Yorkie who terrorises her daily by climbing on top of her computer and pelting her with stuffed animals while she writes. And, yes, Rachel considers herself a total Dork.

A Q&A with Rachel...
Can you share a little about your background? I grew up in Saint Joseph, Michigan, a small city located on the shore of Lake Michigan. I have 2 younger sisters and 2 younger twin brothers. I wrote and illustrated my first book in 6th grade as a birthday present for my brothers. I’m an attorney, but I enjoy writing children’s books more than practicing law. I currently reside in northern Virginia.
Do you have any children? I have two daughters. My younger daughter, Nikki, helps with illustrations. I am also looking forward to adopting 3 children in the near future.
Are the events in the book true? Many of the events in the book are based on the experiences I and my daughters had in middle school.
Were you considered a Dork in middle school? Yes! And, I’m STILL a DORK!
Do you have any pets? I have a dog, a yorkie.
