About the Book:
With brand-new, full-color illustrations, the #1 New York Times bestselling Dork Diaries series comes alive in full bloom and geared for a new modern middle grade audience. In the second book, Nikki Maxwell is torn between two parties!
Settled in at her new school and flanked by awesome friends Chloe and Zoey, life is looking up for Nikki Maxwell, especially since her crush, Brandon, asked her to be his lab partner—a seriously awesome development. However, when Nikki overhears mean girl MacKenzie bragging that Brandon’s taking her to the Halloween dance, a bummed Nikki signs on to spend Halloween at a kids’ party with her little sister, Brianna, instead.
After she finds out Mackenzie was lying and her dream of going to the dance with Brandon could be a reality, Nikki has two events to juggle…plus plenty of other entertaining trials and tribulations along the way!
