Tales from a Not-So-Talented Pop Star by Rachel Renée Russell

That's why she has her scholarship: her embarrassing dad. But she got a tuition bill because her dad, the exterminator for WCD, was supposed to come in to school because of a bug-problem. The plot: Nikki decided not to join the talent show. It is like normal schools: lockers and classrooms. This all happens in November at WCD (the school) most of the time. Also, Nikki can't ever stand babysitting Brianna because she is always bad when her parents aren't home.

Mackenzie also took her little sister there and got the video posted on YouTube.

While some think she is cute, Brianna actually started part of the problem: making Nikki preform a kiddie pizza place (Queasy Cheesy)theme song on the stage. Next we have Brianna Maxwell: Nikki's six-year-old little sister. Both, Chloe and Zoey, are really awesome and support Nikki at all times. Nikki says that their ideas can be a little dorky or wacky but they're super fun. They are Nikki's B.F.F.s who seem to always stay together. Mackenzie is the mean, super popular girl who doesn't like Nikki at ALL, along the other dorks at school. She has brown hair and has no designer clothing, unlike Mackenzie. It is a fiction story about a girl named Nikki J. ) Once again, hijinks and misunderstandings aplenty ensue, as well as more hilarious and heartwarming moments with Nikki and her friends.I read Dork Diaries #3, by Rachel Russell. Nikki loves to sing and dance and now she gets to have tons of fun with her friends while competing for a chance to free her Dad from his obligation! (And free herself from all that potential damage to her reputation. The timing seems perfect when a major talent competition is announced with a school scholarship offered as the top prize.

The last thing Nikki needs is having her friends and-worst case scenario-her crush, Brandon, associating her with the humongous roach on top of her Dad's van! Now it looks like her secret could be about to come out, and Nikki's willing to go to any zany and wacky length to prevent that from happening.

Nikki Maxwell has been doing everything she can to keep everyone at school from learning the truth-that she's there on scholarship in exchange for her Dad working as the school's exterminator. Rachel Renee Russell serves up more laughs and adorable illustrations in the next installment of the bestselling DORK DIARIES series.
