About this book

“Once upon a Dork...” Wait! Why do all these fairy tale characters Nikki's running into seem so familiar? After a bump on the head in gym class on April Fool’s Day, Nikki has a wild dream in which she, her BFFs Chloe and Zoey, her crush Brandon, and mean girl Mackenzie all end up playing the roles of some familiar classic fairy tale characters. Of course, the stories don’t go quite as expected—because they each have a very special Dork Diaries spin! The book entitled Dork Diaries 8: Tales From A Not So Happily Ever After is written by Rachel Reene Russel and published by Simon & Schuster in March 2014. The New York Times bestselling Dork Diaries series follows Nikki Maxwell as she chronicles her life through text and art—her move to a new school, her battles with queen bee MacKenzie, and her zany adventures with her BFFs Chloe and Zoey by her side. Rachel Renée Russell is the author of Dork Diaries which has spent 323 weeks on the NYT bestsellers list. Rachel first introduced us to Nikki Maxwell in 2009 and has written 16 books in the Dork Diaries series which have sold more than 45 million copies worldwide. For a peek at some of the books that have been translated into 42 languages.
