Horn Book Review
In this ninth installment, spoiled queen bee Mackenzie steals Nikki's diary and takes over writing it, detailing the many ways Nikki has humiliated her. Mackenzie hacks into Nikki's school advice column, interferes with Nikki's crush on Brandon, and reveals that her own life isn't as perfect as it seems. The change to Mackenzie's point of view may interest followers of the simplistic series. (c) Copyright 2016. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
