Overflowing with Nikki's trademark humour and art this special DIY edition of DORK DIARIES not only features a brand new story featuring all of your favourite characters from the series, but also includes tips from Nikki about keeping your own diary and space for readers to write and draw their own entries.

    Author

    Rachel Renee Russell

    Rachel Renee Russell is a lawyer who prefers writing children's books to legal briefs (mainly because books are a lot more fun and pyjamas and bunny slippers aren't allowed in court). She has raised two daughters and lived to tell about it. Rachel lives in northern Virginia with a spoiled pet Yorkie who terrorises her daily by climing on top of her computer and pelting her with stuffed animals while she writes. And, yes, Rachel considers herself a total Dork.

    Dork Diaries 3.5 How to Dork Your Diary - Rachel Renee Russell

    FRIDAY, AT HOME, 6:05 A.M.

    OMG!!

    I just had the most HORRIFIC nightmare!

    The worst in my entire life!

    I’m soooo FREAKED OUT I can barely write this.

    I’m having cold sweats, my heart is pounding, and my brain is … numb with such intense … anguish it feels like it’s about to, um … EXPLODE!

    WHY?!

    I DREAMED I LOST MY DIARY AT SCHOOL !!!!!!

    YES!! At SCHOOL!! Like, how CRAZY is THAT?!

    The weird thing is that it seems like it actually happened. Because as soon as I woke up, all these detailed memories came flooding into my head, making me feel even more confused.

    I can’t imagine NOT writing in my diary! It’s like I’m addicted or something.

    In my dream I was so desperate that I found Brianna’s old doodle book at the bottom of her toy box and started writing in that instead.

    But mostly I was FRANTIC that someone would find my diary and read all the SUPERpersonal, SUPERembarrassing, SUPERsecret stuff about

    AAAHHH!!

    That was me screaming.

    WHY?

    Because if I’m writing in BRIANNA’S DOODLE BOOK, that can mean only one thing.…

    I LOST MY DIARY AT SCHOOL YESTERDAY !!

    AAAHHH!!!

    AT HOME, 6:12 A.M.

    I think I may be having a nervous breakdown or something because suddenly I just started crying and couldn’t stop.

    My room was a total mess after just one box of tissues.

    But by the time I sobbed my way through seven boxes of tissues, I looked like a giant piece of LINT.

    With EYEBALLS!

    As much as I wanted to just lie there staring at the wall and sulking, I FINALLY decided it was time to drag my butt out of bed.

    WHY?

    Because all those wet, soggy tissues were quickly starting to dry and harden around my body, potentially transforming ME into a HUMAN piñata!!

    And Brianna just LOVES piñatas.

    I was absolutely TERRIFIED she would:

    1. Dump six boxes of orange Tic Tacs down my throat.

    2. String me up on a pole.

    3. Smack me around with a plastic bat until I either burst or coughed up some candy.

    That child has serious issues.

    I’m just saying.… !!

    AT HOME, 6:30 A.M.

    I can’t believe this is actually happening to me!

    The last time I remember seeing my diary was yesterday at breakfast.

    After I finished writing in it, I stuck it inside that cute little front zipper pocket of my backpack just like I always do.

    I had a vocabulary quiz in French and a chapter test in geometry, so I didn’t have time to write in it until my seventh-period class.

    And when I opened the front zipper pocket of my backpack, my diary was GONE !!!

    Being the biggest dork in the entire school is bad enough. And now everyone is going to be reading my diary!

    I’m WORSE than a TOTAL LOSER!!! I’m a

    Okay! Is it just ME, or are these drawings a desperate cry for help?!

    Brianna needs to be placed on a very potent antipsychotic medication. ASAP!

    I’m just sayin’ …!

    * PLAN FOR FINDING MY LOST DIARY *

    Step 1. Check the lost and found in school office. (If not found, proceed to Step 2.)

    Step 2. Check each of my classrooms. (If not found, proceed to Step 3.)

    Step 3. Check hallways, cafeteria, and library. (If STILL not found, proceed to Step 4.)

    Step 4. Crawl inside my locker,
