Boys don’t keep diariesor do they?
The launch of an exciting and innovatively illustrated new series narrated by an unforgettable kid every family can relate to
It’s 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 you’re 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 Rowley’s star starts to rise, Greg tries to use his best friend’s 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 don’t expect me to be all Dear Diary’ this and Dear Diary’ that.” Luckily for us, what Greg Heffley says he won’t do and what he actually does are two very different things.

i like diary of the wimpy kid
i so want to read this
This book is very funny! Its about a middle schooler named Greg Heffley and how he lives his lifestyle. Greg has two brothers. His older brother Rodrick is in a rock band called Loded Diaper. His younger brother Manny, is who Greg thinks is treated better than he was at his age. Rodrick likes to tease and scare Greg, while Manny gets all the attention. Greg also has a friend named Rowley who enjoys things a second grader would enjoy. I fell in love with this series and I have read all the books. I recommend this book for anyone who likes comedy. Make sure to join Greg in a series of adventure!
I love this book and the other ones in the series it so interesting, funny and relatable.
it was a great book lots of action
This book is pretty funny and I think third graders would enjoy this book just like I did. And if they do like it, Jeff Kinney made a ton of "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" books.
I have to say that this book was truly a laugh out loud book! Greg or Gregory has an older brother named Roderick who is in a band called the loaded diaper but he thinks it's spelled loded diper. Greg's younger brother manny gets all the attention by giving puppy eyes and drawing pictures. Greg's life at school is not much better. At school there are plenty of bully's and to make things worse Greg's so called "best friend" loves pop music made for five year old girls. So join Greg Heffly in the series Diary of a Wimpy Kid!
ILIKETRAIN!
Jeff Kinney is an AWESOMESAUCALICOUS author! Greg Heffley has a lot of stuff going on in his life, but he also isn't really likeable or honest, just like a person in real life, minus the unlikeable part. I think it's AMAZING and if you haven't read this, read it IMMEDIATELY!
