I read this at the recommendation of one of my students. I found the main character’s annoying but authentic, and the implicit lessons to be a negative example. She is a huge liar - and she gets rewarded for lying to her parents and her principal. Her mess ups are easily cleaned up without any real repercussions.

Ok book, great/super for children.

Like "Wimpy Kid", I feel like this series is running on fumes. Nikki's antics and irresponsibility are no longer that funny. Hopefully Max Crumbly will bring some new life to it all.

The scene where the puppies first came to Nikki and Brianna's house while their parents were at the movies was so funny! Nikki needs to stop lying all the time though.
