Boys don’t keep diaries—or 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.

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.

I love Diary of a Wimpy Kid! Because it's so halarious!!!😹

I think this is a super funny book that has some things that are ture and others that are just weird. I think you should read this book if you like to laugh.👍😂

This book is funny and weird at first.

These books are AMAZING! I've read the whole series. Yep I agree with you there is one bully and he's in my class he always says I need to take a chill pill (not like I need one.) no, wait, there are two bullies that tease me and another person. But, anyway this book is awesome! BYE!

This book is very good and I could re-read this book all day long. As you may be able to tell, I am a young girl and not yet shaving. My school has one bully, but she is very short. My school used to have a boy bully, but he got expelled. This book is hilarious and you guys should read this book.
