​ ​DORK​ ​DIARIES 
​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​By​ ​Rachel​ ​Renee​ ​Russell
What​ ​I’ve​ ​Read 
Chapter​ ​1 
After​ ​a​ ​bump​ ​on​ ​the​ ​head​ ​by​ ​a​ ​dodgeball 
thrown​ ​by​ ​MacKenzie​ ​in​ ​gym​ ​class​ ​on 
April​ ​Fool’s​ ​Day,​ ​Nikki​ ​Maxwell​ ​has​ ​a​ ​wild 
dream​ ​in​ ​which​ ​she,​ ​her​ ​BFFs​ ​Chloe 
Garcia​ ​and​ ​Zoey​ ​Franklin,​ ​her​ ​crush 
Brandon​ ​Roberts,​ ​and​ ​mean​ ​girl 
MacKenzie​ ​all​ ​end​ ​up​ ​playing​ ​the​ ​roles​ ​of 
some​ ​familiar​ ​classic​ ​fairy​ ​tale​ ​characters. 
Of​ ​course,​ ​the​ ​stories​ ​don’t​ ​go​ ​quite​ ​as 
expected—because​ ​they​ ​each​ ​have​ ​a​ ​very 
special​ ​Dork​ ​Diaries​ ​spin! 
Chapter​ ​2 
She​ ​is​ ​stuck​ ​in​ ​this​ ​fairytale​ ​land​ ​and 
doesn’t​ ​know​ ​how​ ​to​ ​get​ ​out​.​ ​Her​ ​favorite 
story​ ​has​ ​been​ ​in​ ​Cinderella​ ​so​ ​far​ ​because 
her​ ​crush,​ ​Brandon​ ​was​ ​in​ ​it​ ​and​ ​because 
he​ ​was​ ​nice​ ​to​ ​her​ ​and​ ​he​ ​was​ ​about​ ​to 
How​ ​I​ ​respond 
Chapter​ ​1 
I​ ​can't​ ​imagine​ ​how​ ​painful​ ​it​ ​was​ ​to​ ​get 
hurt​ ​like​ ​that​ ​by​ ​MacKenzie,​ ​and​ ​how 
many​ ​minutes​ ​did​ ​she​ ​pass​ ​out​ ​for?​ ​Nikki, 
the​ ​main​ ​character,​ ​seems​ ​to​ ​be​ ​very​ ​nice 
and​ ​kind,​ ​although​ ​she​ ​sadly​ ​does​ ​get​ ​hurt 
badly​ ​after​ ​the​ ​dodgeball​ ​hit.​ ​I​ ​wonder 
how​ ​she​ ​reacts​ ​later​ ​on​ ​the​ ​rest​ ​of​ ​the​ ​day. 
Chapter​ ​2 
I​ ​am​ ​amazed​ ​how​ ​Nikki​ ​imagines​ ​this 
fairy​ ​land,​ ​for​ ​it​ ​is​ ​very​ ​creative​ ​and 
amazing.​ ​I​ ​was​ ​able​ ​to​ ​finish​ ​this​ ​304​ ​page 
book​ ​in​ ​less​ ​than​ ​three​ ​hours​ ​because​ ​of 
how​ ​interesting​ ​it​ ​was.​ ​The​ ​book​ ​was​ ​like 
a​ ​chain​ ​and​ ​you​ ​could​ ​not​ ​leave​ ​it​ ​until​ ​get 
kiss​ ​Nikki​ ​but​ ​it​ ​was​ ​almost​ ​midnight​ ​so 
she​ ​had​ ​to​ ​run​ ​because​ ​her​ ​spell​ ​would​ ​not 
work​ ​anymore​ ​so​ ​she​ ​ran​ ​as​ ​fast​ ​as 
possible​ ​and​ ​was​ ​hiding​ ​in​ ​the​ ​woods 
until​ ​the​ ​next​ ​morning. 
Chapter​ ​3 
Nikki​ ​wanted​ ​to​ ​go​ ​to​ ​the​ ​queen​ ​of​ ​hearts 
castle​ ​to​ ​look​ ​for​ ​the​ ​wizard​ ​of​ ​odd​ ​so​ ​she 
could​ ​go​ ​back​ ​home.​ ​Although,​ ​when​ ​she 
got​ ​there​ ​she​ ​saw​ ​that​ ​the​ ​wizard​ ​of​ ​odd 
was​ ​FAKE!​ ​Nikki​ ​was​ ​so​ ​sad​ ​because​ ​she 
thought​ ​she​ ​would​ ​be​ ​stuck​ ​in​ ​fairytale 
land​ ​for​ ​eve...
