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 the book and all the other diary of a wimpy kid books because there so funny

I think it's funny. And can relate to people that go to school. Or even people with problems ant home or friends. It's a book that will make you laugh cause at time I giggled.

This series is fun, funny and really relatable. According to most of my friends, it is the best series EVER in their opinions. Greg Heffley (main) writes diaries every year, because one day when he grows up he will need proof to show his fans that he has had an amazing life. Every book is full of different adventures of Greg, and they all up in complete failures or hilarious twists. The series is well designed and drawn in a way that appeals to most people. You will definitely enjoy this amazing series, for there is always a laugh around the corner! Greg Heflley's life is full of surprises, and it is one of the most comical life you may have ever seen. This is definitely a must read series!

this book is about greg and he goes through many problems for like at his school play he sighns up to be a tree because he gets to throw apples at dorthy.ten all of a sudden manny calls out greg but calls him bubby because he never knew how to say brother when he was a little kid so he calls him bubby even though he knows how to say brother.then gre prentends it is someone else saying u dropped a apple.

The life of a teenager like Greg Heffley is very rough. Everything seems to go wrong!
