Dork Diaries
by Rachel Renée Russell
Nikki starts a new private school on a scholarship, records the indignities in her diary, and sets out to win the school art competition.
A story about children, funny and wry in tone. We would put it with children of 9–12, and at a reading age of about 9 for reading alone.
Nothing flagged
We have not flagged any content in this one that a parent would usually want warning about.
Part of a series
This is book 1 of the Dork Diaries series, so there is more to read if it goes down well — which is worth a great deal with a reluctant reader.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
