«Dork Diaries: Holiday Heartbreak» by Rachel Renée Russell

Nikki Maxwell's love life is finally looking up. Brandon, who she's been crushing on, like, forever, has asked her on an almost-date. SQUEE!

But when Brandon starts acting weirdly, Nikki's worried that he doesn't like her after all…

And with a special dance coming up where the girls ask the boys, Nikki wants to invite Brandon, but what if he says no - urgh, major cringe! Will Nikki find the courage to ask Brandon to the dance, or will she be left at home like a true Dork-arella?
