Books "Dork Diaries 10: Tales from a Not-So-Perfect Pet Sitter" by Rachel Renée Russell

Dork Diaries 10: Tales from a Not-So-Perfect Pet Sitter by Rachel Renée Russell follows Nikki Maxwell and her friends Brandon, Chloe, and Zoey on a secret mission to hide and care for seven adorable puppies and their mother, Holly, when the local animal shelter is too full to take them in. Nikki is excited because her school nemesis MacKenzie has moved away—at least, she thinks so—until she discovers MacKenzie is telling lies to her new friends. To make matters more complicated, MacKenzie overhears Nikki and Brandon’s plan and tries to take over caring for the puppies herself.

Throughout the story, Nikki faces the challenge of keeping the puppies hidden from her parents, her pesky little sister Brianna, the entire middle school, and MacKenzie’s schemes. In true Dork Diaries fashion, Nikki encounters many humorous and chaotic situations, such as hiding puppies in her bedroom, managing messes made by Brianna, and even sneaking dogs into school, which leads to amusing disasters.

The book blends themes of friendship, responsibility, and standing up to bullies with Nikki’s trademark diary-style storytelling, complete with doodles and humorous commentary. It’s a fun and heartwarming read recommended for middle-grade readers and fans of the series who enjoy stories about pets, school life, and overcoming challenges with a sense of humor
