Dork Diaries: Birthday Drama! (Volume 13)

Product Information

Happy to report I liked this one a lot more than I liked the last one. If you ignore the cringy fortnite references, it was really enjoyable. It felt like the good old days when the series was just starting with Nikki and her friends doing crazy stuff that would get them arrested.

Washington, Arlene (February 6, 2015). "2015 Image Winners". The Hollywood Reporter . Retrieved June 22, 2020. For once, my life will be DRAMA FREE!! WOO-HOO 😃! Not likely! This is Nikki we’re talking about. She still hasn’t decided if she will be spending two weeks in Paris (all expenses paid) or going on tour with her band (you know, totally normal people problems), she’s annoyed by her sister’s culinary mash ups and freaking out about whatever potential disaster may unfold during the birthday party her two best friends are planning for her. I am not telling that the Dork Diaries are bad because they aren't bad (they are actually pretty good) HOWEVER is a lot distinct from the Wimpy Kid books. Some incredibly exciting news for 10+ readers: the thirteenth and latest book in the wildly popular Dork Diaries series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Renee Russell, is here! The premise of these books may seem simple – a teen girl dealing with friendships, frenemies, parents, some bullying and the odd crush – however with 37 million copies sold worldwide, Dork Diaries is obviously a winning formula.

KickStarter Books

The latest fictional novel by the Rachel Renee Russell’s ”Dork Diaries” is Tales from a NOT-SO-Happy Birthday, which is thirteenth in the series. As always, Russell delivers a funny yet plot-twisting story, geared toward children and young teens. The lesson that I learned from this book is that it OK to be yourself and don't let people bring you down or get to you .Because if you do then you'll give the person who's making you feel bad and get to you. Cause then you give that person the satisfaction plus your want that power and you don't. When her mum says it’s too expensive, soon it’s looking like Nikki’s dream party will be a total dorky disaster – cringe! Can Nikki and her BFFs come up with a plan to save the day, or will there be major birthday drama?!

[4] Anyway, my birthday is on Saturday, June 28, and my BFFs, Chloe and Zoey, are BEGGING me to throw a big birthday party. With all the things that could go WRONG, it was just not worth the risk.

[12] Film adaptation [ edit ]Marcus Marcus is a recurring character in the Dork Diaries series. He is the guitarist of Nikki's band, Actually, I'm Not Really Sure Yet.

He also has a crush on Chloe Garcia, and the both of them went on a date at the Sweetheart Dance in Dork Diaries: Tales From a Not-So Happy Heartbreaker. It even suggests a midnight bonfire! Chloe said. OMG! That’s going be SO ROMANTIC, right?! For YOU KNOW WHO…! Then she started making silly kissing noises. I think I first contracted this illness on my fifth birthday. I had invited my ENTIRE kindergarten class to my party, and my dad dressed up as a clown.

OMG! Nikki’s birthday party is going to be beyond awesome! Her BFFs are planning a SUPERcool pool party, with a cake, a DJ, and the perfect invitations. Organizing a big party for one hundred people is easy, right? UMMM wrong! I hope your birthday is as special as you are ! WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4 OMG! MY BIRTHDAY PARTY IS BEYOND AWESOME! SQUEEEE ! Ultimately after two attempts, I broke down and also paid complete cost regardless of being over my budget plan by including it to her gift pile.I bought this publication for my daughter due to the fact that she has actually been in to the Geek Diaries series. I assumed she would really enjoy this book after hearing another moms and dad go crazy about just how her daughter enjoyed it. My little girl is 8 years old and also in 2nd quality, and also has read numerous publications in the Dork Diaries collection.Okay. I was starting to get annoyed. CHLOE! ZOEY! PLEASE! I really NEED you both to LISTEN! I yelled. They got really quiet and just stared at me.

Sorry! But if I dramatically dashed out of the royal ball at midnight in a glamorous, enchanted gown and lost my beautiful glass slipper, I’d step right in a pile of DOG POOP! The worse thing about Dork Diaries is how Nikki (the MC) repeats at every single book (that I read) the same mantra/sentence: ''But I just said it inside my head, so no one else heard it but me.'' One of the World Book Day 2015 Authors Rachel Renee Russell is a lawyer who prefers writing children's books to legal briefs. She lives in Aldie, Virginia. I kind of wanted to SLAP her. But I didn’t. That sounds really, um… interesting. But why don’t the THREE of us just have a sleepover and watch some movies instead? I insisted. Welcome to Nikki Maxwell’s aDORKable world in the thirteenth book in the mega-selling Dork Diaries series – now with over 45 million copies in print worldwide!My wonderful birthday party had turned into a complete CATASTROPHE! It was AWFUL! Thank goodness the entire thing was just a… All the kids laughed and cheered because they thought it was all part of his very funny clown act. But I was SO upset, I couldn’t eat any of my birthday cake.
