From there, Jenni Barber takes over, and she does a wonderful job at capturing the youthful angst and enthusiasm of Nikki's voice! Both narrators offer a performance so authentic, it feels like eavesdropping on a seventh-grade sleepover. Lana Quintal narrates the first three books of the series, and she may be a familiar voice to younger listeners-she's also narrated the Junie B. But it's not all bad-Nikki makes new friends, gains a crush, forms a band, and discovers that there's a little bit of dork in everyone, even middle school mean girls! Not to mention, she can't let anyone know that her dad is the school's exterminator-she'd die of embarrassment, and mean girl Mackenzie Hollister would never let her live it down! Luckily for Nikki, she has her beloved diary to doodle and confide in as she chronicles the drama, missteps, and angst of surviving a new school. A new school means new opportunities to be targeted by mean girls-her locker is right next to one!-and other middle school disasters.
