The launch of an exciting and innovatively illustrated new series narrated by an unforgettable kid every family can relate to Its a new school year, and Greg Heffley finds himself thrust into middle school, where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving. The hazards of growing up before youre ready are uniquely revealed through words and drawings as Greg records them in his diary. In book one of this debut series, Greg is happy to have Rowley, his sidekick, along for the ride. But when Rowleys star starts to rise, Greg tries to use his best friends newfound popularity to his own advantage, kicking off a chain of events that will test their friendship in hilarious fashion. Author/illustrator Jeff Kinney recalls the growing pains of school life and introduces a new kind of hero who epitomizes the challenges of being a kid. As Greg says in his diary, Just dont expect me to be all Dear Diary this and Dear Diary that. Luckily for us, what Greg Heffley says he wont do and what he actually does are two very different things. Since its launch in May 2004 on Funbrain.com, the Web version of Diary of a Wimpy Kid has been viewed by 20 million unique online readers. This year, it is averaging 70,000 readers a day.

 Rating: - GreatMy son loved this book. My son has ADHD and it is torture for me to get him to sit still and read or do homework. I purchased this book on a whim and hoped he would at least look at it. My son is 8 1/2 and blew through this book in 3 weeks, I bought the second one and he read that one in less than a week1! Rating: - BEST BOOK EVER!!!!!!!!!i got it and i thought that it would be really dumb, but when i read it, it was totally pimped out!! i recomend this to every one who likes a nice funny story! Rating: - Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff KinnyYes, I know what you're thinking. A novel? In... Cartoons? Well, here's the thing. Diary of A Wimpy Kid is written as the journal of Greg Heffley. It is a real novel, with a few pictures here and there to reinforce what you have read and to add a bit of comedy to the already funny book. So, if I haven't already explained the plot of the "journal", I'll do so now. The book chronicles the daily trials of Greg Heffley and his immoral older brother, Rodrick; his tough parents; his little brother, Manny; ...

It shares advice with students to help them cope with the difficult world of middle school. However, let's make one thing clear; the book is not a diary. It is a journal per say according to the Greg Heffley. He is only doing the journal for his mother. Greg is thrown into the middle school world of bullies, morons, and know it alls. He faces snow ball fights, older and younger siblings, and holidays throughout ... Read More Rating: - Fantastic SeriesMy nine year old grandson LOVES the first two books in this series. He has re-read them several times, and the books always make him laugh. The author is right-on for this age group. My grandson can't wait until the next two books come out. There are so many great book series for girls, there needs to be more for boys. Great job, Jeff!
