This is a really funny and cute book for 8-12 year old girls. It is written in the style of Diary of a Wimpy Kid but from a 12 year old girl’s perspective. The main character, Harriet, is very likable. She is a little dramatic when things embarrass her and she writes all about it in her diary. She has a quirky, slightly sarcastic sense of humor that had me laughing several times while reading the story and I loved the little hand drawn pictures that appear throughout the book.  There are great friendships, wonderful family relationships, and of course boy drama, along with some character growth. I love that Harriet figures out that her initial thoughts about people and activities are sometimes wrong and that being open to trying new things can change your life.Quote from Diary of a Dancing Drama Queen:I could not help but think how glad I was that mom had made me take a dance class. Dancing had been the start of wonderful things and if mom had not made me go, I would never have overcome my fears…..Mom is right—-life is way more fun if you let go of your inhibitions and just have fun.Book 2, in this fun and cute series is  Diary of a Pop Sensation.*I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.*
