Horn Book Review

In her third story, Nikki chronicles the fallout from an embarrassing video of her singing, posted on the internet by nemesis MacKenzie. Determined to win the school talent show, Nikki must also deal with fickle friends, a crush, and her secret status of scholarship student. Anime-style illustrations accompany the text, which overflows with exclamation points, OMGs, and much squeeing. (c) Copyright 2011.
