More About This Book

Overview

Nikki Maxwell has been doing everything she can to keep everyone at school from learning the truth—that she's there on scholarship in exchange for her Dad working as the school's exterminator. The last thing Nikki needs is having her friends and—worst case scenario—her crush, Brandon, associating her with the humongous roach on top of her Dad's van! Now it looks like her secret could be about to come out, and Nikki's willing to go to any zany and wacky length to prevent that from happening. The timing seems perfect when a major talent competition is announced with a school scholarship offered as the top prize. Nikki loves to sing and dance and now she gets to have tons of fun with her friends while competing for a chance to free her Dad from his obligation! (And free herself from all that potential damage to her reputation . . .) Once again, hijinks and misunderstandings aplenty ensue, as well as more hilarious and heartwarming moments with Nikki and her friends.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble

Nikki Maxwell harbors an odious secret, as large as the giant roach model that sits atop her father's exterminator company van. Nikki is understandably terrified that her private school classmates will learn that she owes her presence there to a scholarship linked to her father's pest-ridding talents. When the possibility of a talent show prize offers her an opportunity to free herself from the varmint curse, she jumps to perform. An entertaining addition to a crowd-pleasing series.

Children's Literature
In the third book of the "Dork diaries" series, Nikki's back and struggling with her archnemesis, Makenzie. Things get crazy when Makenzie posts an embarrassing video of Nikki on YouTube. This could totally ruin Nikki's reputation at school! More importantly, it could ruin Nikki's chances with her crush, Brandon! Making matters worse, Nikki is forced to compete in a talent show to try to win a scholarship so she can afford to stay in the prestigious private school she attends. Of course, Makenzie is trying to sabotage her at every turn by stealing members of her dance team and writing "cancelled" on Nikki's recruiting posters. Will Nikki be able to outsmart Makenzie and win the talent show? Will she lose Brandon to Makenzie? Read on to see if the underdog prevails! This book would appeal to reluctant readers, particularly girls. There is frequent text talk (e.g., OMG, BFF), as well as illustrations that take up most of every other page. Thus, even though the book is 311 pages, the text only accounts for approximately one half of those pages, making the text that of the average chapter book. Mixed in with the text talk is some higher-level vocabulary such as "abrasive," "overinflated," and "decadent." The main topics of the book would most likely appeal to older girls (e.g., fashion, makeup, crushes, babysitting). There is also quite a bit of mean girl dialogue that borders on bullying between Nikki and Makenzie. Younger girls may not be prepared to deal with or understand this kind of talk. Teachers, librarians and parents should be aware that the book also includes self-deprecating humor that borders on self-loathing. For example, Nikki calls herself and her life "horribly pathetic" and says she'd like to "end it all" by flushing herself down the toilet. Reviewer: Heather Welsh
