''Dork Diaries'' is a series of books directed at tween girls by [[AlliterativeName Rachel Renee Russell]]. They follow the misadventures of Nikki J. Maxwell, a slightly [[BrattyTeenageDaughter bratty]] and shallow but still well-meaning and likable fourteen year old girl. The story begins when Nikki's family moves because of her father's job, and Nikki is transferred to Westchester Country Day, a private school that is much too fancy for Nikki's tastes. There, she meets [=MacKenzie=] Hollister ([[AlphaBitch resident mean girl]]), Chloe Garcia and Zoey Franklin (unpopular but awesome new friends), and Brandon Roberts (Nikki's crush, [=MacKenzie's=] crush, and overall NiceGuy).

There are four books so far, as well as a companion.
