    Hey Rachel! My obsession began like this… I was looking through the library trying to find a good book to read. Then, I saw a one on the shelf that was a hot pink “Dork Diaries” book. I decided to check that one out. I read it, and I was like, OMG! Did she write other books? I looked in the library a few weeks later, and saw a dark purple one. SQUEEEE! There was also a yellow one AND a white one!! She did write others! I read every single book EXEPT the seventh and the eighth. They do NOT have them in my library! Help! But just to let you know, you are a very talented writer. Make the 9th and the 10th! Haha. 😀
    Never stop being awesome!

    I love the newest book! Sometimes I wish I was in Nikki’s shoes and had all the excitement in her life. I’m like Brandon, I love to take photos and I’m great at taking them. I can be a loner sometimes, But I don’t write about each photo I take. And, Brandon is SOOOOOO cute!

    I like Nikki, but my favourite character is Chloe because she is nice and funny. I’m now reading TV Star and I read that Mackenzie stole the tickets and that’s why I think she is mean.
