About this ebook

Nikki Maxwell authors an advice column for the school newspaper in this fifth installment of the #1 New York Times bestselling Dork Diaries series!

Nikki Maxwell develops a sudden interest in student journalism that may or may not (okay, definitely does) have to do with the fact that mean girl MacKenzie has started writing a gossip column. So Nikki joins the school newspaper staff—and ends up as an advice columnist! It’s fun at first, answering other kids’ letters. But when Miss Know-It-All’s inbox is suddenly overflowing with pleas for guidance, Nikki feels in need of some help herself!

Ratings and reviews

Cout o 1 I loved the thought that a girl like all of us shows her inner dork and just let's it shine and she expresses her feelings in a book I give this book 1,00,00 1 million out of 1 million

I like this series...but wishing there was a little more adventure. But other than that this book is fabulous, so thanks! :)

I loved this book. It was illustrated very well. The way Rachel Rennee Russel ordered her story was perfect. Dork Diaries is one of my favorite series, and this book is my 2nd favorite. Alongside the 7th issue. I started reading these books about 6 months and immediatly fell in love with them. The main character, Nikki Maxwell is my favorite character is the most dorkiest girl. I must thank Ms. Russel for creating her, for she is my favorite character of all time. Her BFFs, Chloe Garcia and Zoey Franklin are (to Nikki) the best friends ever. Her enemy MaKenzie Hollister, is so mean, but I didn't know total dorks like Nikki could stand up to bullies like MaKenzie. I think the most funniest parts in this issue is when the TV crew follows Nikki all around the school, and even all the way to her house. Thank you Ms. Russel for creating the Dork Diaries series.
