The Maddie Diaries: A Memoir

I absolutely LOVED this book! It was so helpful, for me, as a dancer. I could read this over and over again! It was so detailed. Also, all the subjects she talked about were just very helpful!!

Read itttttttttttt

This book was a birthday gift for my daughter. She read it in two days. She said it was so good. She loves Maddie and watched her on Dance Moms.

I was skeptical to read this initially. Watching Dance Moms and Maddie's work on some TV shows, I thought she was adorable and very talented, but I wondered how much of her life was what she wanted versus what her parents were pointing her towards. This read was, to some degree, like reading a school assigned journal. Part record of this point in her life, part guidance and tips for other tweens, part hawking of her clothing line, and part musings about clothes, make-up, fashion, celebrities, and friends, this was a fun quick read. You aren't going to learn massive secrets or Maddie's deepest inner thoughts. You aren't going to get dirty laundry about the ALDC and her family. This is not a book about gossip. It is a cute look at a teenager learning make up tips, accessorizing, and experiencing the world. I'd love to see Maddie write a book in 10 years and see how much has changed and how much has stayed the same. At the same time, I hope lots of girls read this. Courage, in all its forms, is a necessary life skill. It takes hard work and dedication to compete in any arena. Malala is brave. Zendaya is brave. Maddie is brave. and the world needs more brave, hard working, creative, and smart young women to lead!

LOVED IT IT got here earlier than expected Maddie Ziegler is one of my favorite dancers on dance moms I can’t wait to read it

Oh my word I'm 12 years old the biggest fan of Maddie and holy flippen moly that was one of the best pieces of writing I've ever read I love Maddie so much and I feel like this book would inspire so many kids and proves just how down to earth Maddie is Keep fighting the haters and being yourself!

I think it is great and i love how she even talk about her insecurity! I also love how sh give stips and I love the drawing! This book is great! Read it! :)

This book is a very well written book, that’s why I hardly believe that this was written by Maddie herself. I mean, she kept on talking about how humble she is and how amazing and sweet and kind she is. She also talks about how encouraging she is. This doesn’t sound like HER. I’ve been watching Dance Mom’s for years and it doesn’t sound like she wrote it. And the way she talked about her sister!!!!! If she’s so humble, she wouldn’t talk about her sister like that! And the Kenzie section, doesn’t sound like Kenzie wrote it at all!!! -Lila (11 years old)

Our little dancer loves reading this, especially after watching Dance Moms!

J'adore parcourir les pages de ce magnifique livre écrit sous la plume d'une jeune artiste et talentueuse ! un vrai plaisir !

Súper bien!es de los mejores libros!y el vendedor genial.5 Estrellas!

A great book and one that I can really relate to! *I really liked the structure of the book. It was very fascinating! *The book was inspiring, and interesting. It was good to know the gossip, too… ¬One little thing to improve on, if you don't mind. The book was a bit easy to put down- but that could just be me! :) ~I recommend this book for ages 10-15, because I feel like the topics are just right for that age group. P$: Buy the book! You won't regret it! Sincerely, The Bookworm ;D

I'm more than likely older than the target audience for this book, but I still loved reading it! :) If you ever watched Dance Moms, I suggest this book.
