Dork Diaries: Holiday Heartbreak (Volume 6)

Product Information

NO SNOOPING ALLOWED!!! ) Dork Diaries: Holiday Heartbreak, by Rachel Renée Russell with Nikki Russell and Erin Russell. Simon and Schuster. A very HAPPY wheezing, sweat-soaked mass of body odor and sheer exhaustion. ME, WITH A BIG FAT DORKY SMILE PLASTERED ACROSS MY FACE!! I felt SO insanely happy I could just… VOMIT sunshine, rainbows, confetti, glitter, and… um… those yummy little Skittles candy thingies! Today's swim skill is diving. Each diver must swim through seven rings. Nikki comes wearing scuba gear and, due to it, only gets a D. It could have actually happened…!! I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING! I DROPPED MY PHONE AND NOW I CAN’T CALL NIKKI!

It's the biggest dance of the year and it's up to the girls to ask the boys. Nikki really wants to ask her crush, Brandon, but what if he says no? Major cringe! Nikki is not looking forward to the floating skills swim test at school tomorrow and imagines an excuse note to get out of it. Nikki looks through her wardrobe to find the right outfit to wear at Crazy Burger tomorrow. She throws together a bunch of her clothes and eventually comes up with the perfect outfit. Now that Nikki is going to the dance with Brandon, she needs a dress to wear; none of the dresses she finds at the store really fit the criteria. Nikki reveals that Chloe Garcia and Marcy Simms begged her to take over her Miss-Know-it-all column for a month, with a special Crush Crisis Love Advice column, so she did. She almost sent a letter to them, asking why love is such a cruddy thing.

Usually I find that after six books a series can become somewhat repetitive, but thankfully that isn't the case here. Each Dork Diaries book seems to be even better than the last one, with more drama and laughs than expected. I think Holiday Heartbreak is actually my favourite of the series so far, and if I had the next book I would have read it straight away! The last time I tried to talk to Brandon on the phone with Brianna around, it was a total disaster. She actually told him about my hairy legs and crusty eye boogers. It was SO humiliating!

Welcome to Nikki Maxwell's aDORKable world and the mega-selling Dork Diaries series – now with over 50 million copies in print worldwide!

In this book, it seems that Brianna has lost her irritational fear of the tooth fairy. Instead, she now has an obsession with diva hair salon shows on TV, calling herself "Miss Bri-Bri, fashionista-hairstylist to the stars", constantly bugging Nikki about it. This will continue through the books, and Nikki needs to stop it, like she did with the tooth fairy in Tales From a Not-So-Popular Party Girl. Just so they could go to a movie together! Like, how INSENSITIVE is that?! Sometimes I think Mom and Dad need to take a parenting class or something.
