4-6Dork Diaries series.
With Nikki Russell and Erin Russell. As the result of a weeklong student exchange program, eighth grader Nikki Maxwell winds up at the same school as her archenemy Mackenzie. But this time, the girls team up to take down an even meaner queen bee. This eleventh installment rushes through its drama-filled plot, though a subplot centering on Nikki's sister working toward a cooking badge in Scouts earns a few laughs.
