The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal. Following up their mega-bestselling Real Friends and Best Friends graphic memoirs, Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham are back with Friends Forever, a story about learning to love yourself exactly as you are. The thirteenth instalment in the bestselling DORK DIARIES series, now with over 45 million books in print worldwide!

The Dork Diaries series has been translated into forty-two languages worldwide and its characters are as diverse as the millions of tweens who read the books. Ghosts, a kidnapping, a crew of young detectives, and family secrets mix in this new standalone mystery set in the world of the best-selling Greenglass House, from a National Book Award nominee and Edgar Award–winning author.Instead of posting an advice letter here in my ASK NIKKI column, I've decided to share another fun PARTY activity. Nikki and her friends find the cards, but bumped into a man and lost the invitations with all the mail. Rachel is also the author of a second New York Times bestselling series, The Misadventures of Max Crumbly, which received a Kids’ Book Choice Award.

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). But, when she tries to explain to her best friends, Zoeysha Franklin and Chloe Garcia, that she can't have a birthday, they think she wants to have a pool party, and Chloe and Zoey get so excited that Nikki can't say no to the party. Back home, while Nikki was making letters to tell the guests that the party was unfortunately canceled, Brianna offers Nikki money to make a site for her business. Just imagine a FABULOUS and FUN bash at the Westchester Country Club with a band, DJ, all-you-can-eat pizza, ice-cream sundae bar, two hundred of my closest friends, my loyal BFFs, my adorkable CRUSH, and a humongous birthday cake. Chloe, Zoey, and Nikki sneak into the post office and try to find the invitations before it's too late, and guests think the party isn't canceled.My new Dork Diaries Book 13: Tales From A Not-So-Happy Birthday will be released on Tuesday, October 16th. Unfortunately, Chloe and Zoey are going to be SUPERdisappointed when I break the bad news that I’ve changed my mind.

With humor and wit, Rachel’s books encourage tweens to embrace their individuality and always let their inner dork shine through.Nikki Maxwell has never been popular but now she’s started at a new school, she’s hoping to leave her old dorky ways behind. It’s the end of the year, which means it’s time to talk about the best books for young readers that came out this year!
