Tales from a not-so-secret crush catastrophe

With Erin Russell and Nikki Russell. In this twelfth installment, Nikki's recently ramped-up crush on her best friend Brandon is complicated by a super-cute exchange student and the middle-school rumor mill. Series fans will forgive the fluffy, overstuffed plot to revel in the sitcom-like humor with some choice one-liners; a text filled with smiley faces and exclamations in Nikki's familiar handwriting; and anime-style illustrations with occasional speech bubbles.
