And, yes, Rachel considers herself a total Dork. Rachel lives in northern Virginia with a spoiled pet Yorkie who terrorises her daily by climbing on top of her computer and pelting her with stuffed animals while she writes. Her new book The Misadventures of Max Crumbly was published in June 2016. Dork Diaries was her debut novel and there are now over ten books in the internationally bestselling series which has appeared on the NYT bestseller top ten non-stop for over a year, and which has over 19 million copies in print worldwide.

Secondly, selfie-addicted Queen Bee Tiffany seems set on turning Nikki into her “brainless zombie servant”. Seeing as it’s a cross between “Hogwarts and a five-star luxury hotel” that should be a good thing, right? WRONG!
