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

Nikki thinks that Mackenzie wants her in the group but quickly finds out that Mackenzie wants Chloe and Zoey to be a part of the group, not Nikki. Mackenzie Hollister, queen bee of WCD, shows Nikki a flyer about looking for dancers for her group Mac’s Maniacs. Nikki finds out that the school is having a talent show where the winners will get to audition on 15 Minutes to Fame. Nikki Maxwell has been at Westchester Country Day for about three months and is still best friends with Chloe and Zoey. Tales from a Not So Talented Pop Star is the third book in the Dork Diaries by Rachel Reneé Russell. Read to find out if Nikki's group wins and if there is a happy ending to this story. I rate five stars and girls in fifth grade should read it because it might have some problems that happen at real school. The author did well describing Nikki's thoughts.

But is there something fishy about the bill that Nikki has been worrying about? I liked how creative the author was with ideas! She did amazing. But then it gets taken away! But she notices a poster that says you can win a scholarship by winning the talent show. 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.

I read Dork Diaries #3, by Rachel Russell.
