This is a fictional book and although these characters are not mentioned very much these three are my favourite: Brandon, Chloe and Zoe. I favourite these characters because the main character ,Nikki, is able to rely on them and they are very giving people especially Brandon who is mentioned the least in this book.I liked how Nikki thought that everyone in her secondary/high school loved her new sweater when everyone was actually finding it bizarre that there was a three filling sandwich stuck on her top.I fell happy and sad for Nikki at the same time when she was hit with a dodgeball in face because as she fell to the floor it shows it must of hurt her. On the other hand I felt joyous for her because she has a dream which if she wrote it down would of been the answer to her homework.

This book is great, I loved it. When I read I read it again and again because it was so good. I really liked when Mackenzie was cleaning the girls' shower room because it was really funny. I would recommend this book to people who like fairy tales.
