Rachel Renee Russell’s Dork Dairy series.
In this first book of the series, readers are introduced to Nikki Maxwell as she enters a new private school, Westchester Country Day. She soon realizes that her classmates are snobbish and extremely wealthy, who are decked in designer clothes every day. Nikki does not fit in with this crowd and keeps to herself, penning thoughts in her trusted diary.
Much to her chagrin, her locker is right next to mean girl MacKenzie Hollister’s locker, who instantly brands Nikki as a dork. To make matters worse, she goes head-on and competes with Nikki in an art contest.
Young readers will identify with Nikki as she pleads with her mother for a new iPhone to fit in with the cool crowd at school. Nikki also voices her opinions on her friends, crushes, school rivalries, and parents in her diary. Readers will root for Nikki when she finally makes two friends, Zoey and Chloe, who stand by her through thick and thin.
