Nikki asks her mom if she can have the party, but her mom says that she planned a 100 dollar party, which is way cheaper.

André and Brandon are also back too and still rivalling it out over Nikki's affections as she finally decides what to do over the summer, band tour or trip to Paris? As always, Russell delivers a funny yet plot-twisting story, geared toward children and young teens. An like with her first 7 books and the 9th book I feel like Russell did great with them and everything was amazing but. So, um, despite my expectations, I soon found myself laughing and crying at Nikki's "dorkiness" and the strange antics of Miss Bri-Bri, the hero of the story.Her invitations really caused a whole part to how she must have a birth day party and her friends always interupt.

If Nikki and her friends made it through a book without miscommunication causing all sorts of problems I’d be shocked. Her friends, Chloe and Zoey, come over to help Nikki plan her party and decide on the theme she wants.Dork Diaries: Tales from a Not-So-Happy-Birthday, also known as Birthday Drama, is the 13th book in the Dork Diaries series.

She ran to the dog park to see if Brianna was there and all Nikki could see is a big group of people.She still hasn’t decided if she will be spending two weeks in Paris (all expenses paid) or going on tour with her band (you know, totally normal people problems), she’s annoyed by her sister’s culinary mash ups and freaking out about whatever potential disaster may unfold during the birthday party her two best friends are planning for her. And I can see Nikki does kind of whine and doesn't exactly solve her problems like I would or some others might.
