Dork Diaries: Tales from a not-so-popular party girl, by Rachel Renee Russell
I love this book so much that I read it in 2 days! It has amazing pictures, and Rachel Renee Russell has added so much detail that you can see it in your mind. I highly recommend this book because it shows the little ones that lying is not good.

Dork Diaries: Frenemies forever, by Rachel Renee Russell
I love this book because of all the drama Nicki has to go through. I enjoy reading this book as soon as I wake up in the mornings. But sadly I can only read 50 pages a day because then I will run out of great books like this to read!

Dork Diaries: Skating Sensation, by Rachel Renee Russell
Hilarious story! Great for cheering up people and totally changing their minds about thinking their life is miserable. My favourite thing about the Dork Diaries series is the the way that they write it in handwriting. I highly suggest this book.

Top 10 Children’s Fiction Summer 2018
Great children’s series with new additions! Author Rachel Renee Russell wrote her first book when she was still at school, she was around 10 years old! It was a birthday gift for her brothers. The Dork Diaries books are inspired by her daughter Nikki and Erin. Does one of those those names seem familiar? Russell credits her daughters in authoring the books. Cool!
Have you ever written a book for anyone’s birthday? It would be a such a great gift. Or an terrible one if you wrote awful things. Maybe don’t write terrible things!
But definitely check out these popular authors for some great ideas:
- Diary of a wimpy kid, by Jeff Kinney
- Captain Underpants, by Dav Pilkey
- Storey Treehouse series, by Andy Griffiths
- Tom Gates, by Liz Pichon
