Tales from a Not-So-Best Friend Forever

This fourteenth installment of the popular Dork Diaries series follows Nikki Maxwell as she embarks on an exciting summer band tour, only to find her arch-nemesis, MacKenzie Hollister, joining the tour as an intern and, shockingly, her roommate. Written in a diary format with engaging doodles and comic strips, the book explores themes of friendship, rivalry, self-confidence, and navigating social challenges. It's ideal for middle-grade readers aged 10-14 who enjoy humorous, relatable stories about school life, crushes, and dealing with difficult peers. Parents should be aware of the prominent bullying themes, which are central to the series' conflict, but ultimately show Nikki's resilience and the power of friendship.
