A very popular series in Isabelle's 2nd and 3rd grade classes, but I'm not a fan. The narrator, Nikki, is obsessed with appearances, she wastes time and energy griping about her "enemy", and she is constantly blaming her problems on other people.
Isabelle has read books from the series in an on-and-off fashion for a while, which is why I feel like I ought to read at least some of them. And when I do read a book from this series, it's a good opportunity to follow up with Isabelle and say things like, "Gee, Nikki cares too much about how people look, don't you think?" or "Boy, that Mackenzie sure is a mean girl, but I don't see why Nikki spends so much time thinking about her. She should just ignore her."
