Tales from a Not-so-talented Pop Star

In this third book of the Dork Diaries series, self-proclaimed dork Nikki Maxwell is desperate to win the Westchester Country Day talent show — the prize is a full scholarship, which would finally free her family from the secret arrangement that pays her tuition: her dad's job as the school's exterminator. Nikki forms a band with her best friends Chloe and Zoey and her crush Brandon, but her rival MacKenzie Hollister is determined to sabotage the act and expose Nikki's secret before the big night.
