Nikki's hoping the gift her mother gives her before she starts school at Westchester Country Day will be a brand new cell phone, so she can fit in with the CCP (Cute, Cool & Popular) group at her new school. Instead, it's a blank book. Nikki is crushed, because 'Absolutely no one writes their most intimate feelings and deep dark secrets in a diary anymore! WHY?! Because just one or two people knowing all your BIZ could completely ruin your reputation. You're supposed to post this kind of juicy stuff online in your BLOG so MILLIONS can read it!!!' Nikki writes (and draws) in the diary anyway. When the school year starts, Nikki's locker is next to MacKenzie the most popular (and meanest) girl in eighth grade. As Nikki says, 'To call MacKenzie a 'mean girl' would be an understatement. She's VICIOUS! She's a PIT BULL in glittery eye shadow and Jimmy Choo flip-flops!' Nikki may be the new girl at Westchester Country Day, but when she hears about the school's art show, Random Acts of Avant-Garde Art, she's determined to win the five hundred dollar prize. Then, it turns out MacKenzie plans to enter, too. Can Nikki make the transformation from 'social challenged ART DORK' to 'socially charmed ART DIVA?' Read her diary to find out.
