bday drama is really fun .. It kind of teaches you a way to make or earn money yourself..Like Nikki in the story...when her mom says its way to expensive,she decides to cancel her party...not until Brianna needed a partner for her doggie treats business..now, nikki already has money for her party without unintentionally making her mom broke...see, other people who write negative and nasty comments about dork diaries should get a positive mind to read dork diaries in a positive way..not only thinking about negative sides of the book,other than that,dork diaries teaches you life lessons in a fun way..I recommmend this book...
