Bookroo's summary

Nikki Maxwell faces a dilemma: keep her scholarship secret or risk exposure. Her dad's job as the school's exterminator is the price of her education. When a talent contest offers a scholarship, Nikki sees a chance to change everything. Can she win and protect her reputation, or will her secret come out? Join Nikki as she navigates friendship, crushes, and the chaos of competition in a bid to save her dad and herself from embarrassment. With humor and heart, Nikki's journey is full of unexpected twists and turns.

From the publisher

Nikki Maxwell enters a talent competition in this third installment of the #1 New York Times bestselling Dork Diaries series! Nikki Maxwell has been doing everything she can to keep everyone at school from learning the truth–that she’s there on scholarship in exchange for her Dad working as the school’s exterminator. When a major talent competition is announced with a school scholarship offered as the top prize, it’s the perfect opportunity Nikki has been waiting for. Can she sing and dance her way to letting her dad (and her reputation!) off the hook?
