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.
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
OK...I just didn't like it. It was too goofy and half the things would never happen in real life. I'm in 6th grade and I just didn't find the humor funny.
I think that this book is a very good one for the beginning. You can get how the main chararcter acts in the family, you know what he thinks, or even how. Eveen a the beginning you feel close to Greg Heffley, and this book makes it a highlight.
This book is a very good one for the first book of the series. Already in the beginning of the book, you feel you also have something like the main character Greg Heffley. You also meet Greg´s character. Another reason for why this book as `Book 1´ is good, is that you directly know how Greg thinks. Also, you know how Greg acts in the family, so you basically know how his everyday life is.
AMAZING AWESOME BRILLIANT SUPERB MAGNIFICENT FANTASTIC TERIFFIC
