Bookroo's summary

Nikki Maxwell dives into student journalism to counter a rival's gossip column, becoming the school's advice guru. But as her inbox overflows with desperate pleas, Nikki finds herself overwhelmed. Can she handle the pressure and protect her secrets, especially with her crush, Brandon, in the mix? With her best friends Chloe and Zoey by her side, Nikki must navigate the chaos of middle school drama and her own dilemmas. Will she find the answers she needs, or will her own life become the next big headline?

From the publisher

Nikki Maxwell authors an advice column for the school newspaper in this fifth installment of the #1 New York Times bestselling Dork Diaries series! Nikki Maxwell develops a sudden interest in student journalism that may or may not (okay, definitely does) have to do with the fact that mean girl MacKenzie has started writing a gossip column. So Nikki joins the school newspaper staff–and ends up as an advice columnist! It’s fun at first, answering other kids’ letters. But when Miss Know-It-All’s inbox is suddenly overflowing with pleas for guidance, Nikki feels in need of some help herself!
