Rachel Renée Russell writes and illustrates children's fiction best known for the Dork Diaries series. Tales from a Not-So-Fabulous Life introduces Nikki Maxwell through diary entries, doodles and lists as she navigates a new school, friendship, family embarrassment and rivalry with popular classmate MacKenzie Hollister. Later books continue Nikki's crushes, school events and social disasters while keeping the handwritten visual format central. Russell has also created The Misadventures of Max Crumbly, another illustrated school series. Her books are funny, accessible and highly visual, fitting middle-grade diary fiction, school comedy and illustrated chapter books for readers who enjoy first-person voice and frequent drawings. Dork Diaries is the defining route into Russell's work, especially for readers who like diary narration where drawings and handwritten jokes are part of the storytelling. Read more Less
