Female fans of the Wimpy Kid series will probably also enjoy Tales from a Not-So-Fabulous Life by Rachel Renee Russell. The first in the Dork Diaries series, the pages appear to be diary entries, with drawings that are funny and manga-like and a font that looks like handwriting. Nikki is a new student at Westchester Country Day School, and she's trying to fit in. Her life is fairly typical for a girl in middle school: an embarrassing family (her dad is an exterminator), a snotty CCP (Cute, Cool & Popular) group at school, a crush on the hunk in biology class, and friends (Chloe and Zoey) who come through in a pinch. Readers are bound to identify with many of the situations Nikki encounters, from mean girl MacKenzie Hollister to the dreaded lunchroom. Good for lighthearted entertainment.
