Dork Diaries 12: Tales from a Not-So-Secret Crush Catastrophe

Product Information

Nikki Maxwell has never been popular but now she’s started at a new school, she’s hoping to leave her old dorky ways behind. She's also facing an unexpected crush catastrophe… there's a new kid interested in Nikki, but the last thing she wants to do is accidentally hurt Brandon!

That’s when it occurred to me that although I had mentioned the student ambassador thing with André to Chloe and Zoey, I had completely forgotten to tell Brandon the reason I’d canceled meeting him earlier.But then a new boy turns up at school and shows an interest in Nikki and things become confusing super-quickly! Nikki tells Chloe and Zoey about her case of Crush-itis and they fully support her through thick and thin. I almost expected her to handcuff us to the couch to prevent us from attempting a dangerous felonious act like turning on the TV.

But she just sat there, staring at us all innocent-like with her big brown puppy-dog eyes, pretending she didn’t have the slightest idea how we’d gotten all tied up like that. But the most important thing I need to remember is that the excitement of most crushes simply fizzles out over time when you start to mature and/or finally realize your KNIGHT in shining ARMOR is really a LOSER in ALUMINUM FOIL! Now Brandon doesn't want to talk to Nikki while MacKenzie glances at her from afar with her evil plan having succeeded.

But before she could answer, the handsome Prince André appeared and said, “Princess Nicole, would you like to walk with ME in the meadow?
