Abstract: Dura la vita da ragazzine alle medie! Specialmente se si è una ragazzina davvero NORMALE come Nikki, con una mamma rompiscatole che non ti regala un cellulare superaccessoriato o ti fa comprare i vestiti nei grandi magazzini e non nei negozi più trendy. Per non dire come ti guardano le leader della classe, che non hanno mai i capelli o la maglietta fuori posto. Ci si sente proprio una frana e si fa di tutto, anche le cose più strampalate, per tirarsene fuori. Eppure succede che ci sono amiche che condividono gli stessi interessi, o le stesse figuracce, o che si partecipi con successo a un concorso di disegno, o che il ragazzo più affascinante e imprendibile della scuola (che non ha i vestiti firmati, lui!) ti sorrida... Un vero diario personale, scritto giorno dopo giorno, che alterna la scrittura a mano con buffi fumetti o disegni, raccontando con humour e grande sensibilità la difficile vita di una ragazzina di oggi alle medie. Per giovani lettrici pronte a immedesimarsi con Nikki, e partire... alla riscossa! Età di lettura: da 10 anni.
