Dork Diaries by Rachel Renee Russell

Nikki Maxwell has started at a new Middle School and feels out of place. So, she starts keeping a diary reporting the adventures of the CCPs (Cute, Cool and Popular) people, her efforts to fit in, and her various adventures. She's artistic and wants to enter an Art Contest, but feels intimidated by one of the popular girls, so she signs up to be a library helper instead. There, she makes friends and embarks on more adventures. The book is funny and illustrated with line drawings, and emphasizes the importance of peer acceptance in middle school. Dork Diaries: Tales from a NOT-SO-Fabulous Life by Rachel Renee Russell. Aladdin, 2009.
