Dork Diaries: Tales of a Not-So-Smart Miss Know-It-All Award-winning author by Rachel Renee Russell (author) (US edition)

She’s the least likely agony aunt on the planet. The agony’s all hers. The pleasure is all ours. Why, oh why, would someone as not-clued-up as Nikki become an advice columnist? Is it just to make us laugh? Well, it may or may not (okay, definitely does) relate to the fact that mean girl Mackenzie is writing a gossip column. Nikki can’t have her crush on Brandon reported to the world. She needs to take action. So our favourite dork joins the school newspaper staff as the problem-busting Miss Know-It-All. But soon her inbox is overflowing with pleas for guidance. Yikes. Should someone this clueless really be handing out advice? Perhaps we should write in and ask.
