Product Description
Boys dont keep diariesor do they?
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.

Fun for Boys and Girls May 2, 2008

I originally bought this book for a car trip for my 9-year-old son, and it quickly turned into "the book to be fought over" in the household, with my 10-year-old daughter wanting to read it, too!
Every time the book was set down, it quickly ended up with another reader. If you have a child who is a reluctant reader (they would rather be playing video games, but love books when you make them turn off the TV), then this is a perfect choice. My son even skipped dinner to finish the book!

Let me got something straight: This book is a JOURNAL, not a diary.
Greg Heffley is a middle school student trying to be popular, rich, stay best friends with Rowley, not get the cheese touch, and have fun.
With Greg and Rowley you learn about what it would be like to be a nothing in middle school even when you try hard. Like one time he thought it would be cool to chase kindergarteners around with a worm on a stick, only to get caught and blame it on Rowley. Now he's kicked off the only cool thing he's in, the safety patrol squad, and he lost his best friend.
This book is so funny and grabbing. It's like being strapped to a T.V. with Americas Home Funniest Videos on. The author made me feel like I was one of Greg's friends, right next to him all the way through this book. When I finished, I felt like it was summer break waiting for the next school year and the next book DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: RODRICK RULES.
This amazing novel is full with friendship, betrayal, and bullying. I would recommend it to people who like visual drawings, hilarious dialog, and a cool journal pace.

Jeff Kinney, the author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid wrote a funny book.
I like it because it is about a boy in middle school who is always doing funny stuff.
Gregory is the main character, he is always doing funny stuff and he is in most of the events. This book is written as a diary. I like this book because it is funny and it is written on lines. It was funny because Manny and Gregory do funny stuff to each other.
Great Read April 23, 2008

My favorite book is Diary of a Wimpy Kid. The author is Jeff Kinney. The genre is humor and the theme is what it is like in middle school.
My favorite characters are Greg and Rowley. I like Greg because he's funny. I also like Greg because he always gets in trouble. I like Rowley because he's not very smart. He always does dumb things. The authors writing style is like a comic book. It's also like a chapter book.
I liked this book because it was really funny. I also liked it because it was like a comic book slash chapter book. I like the part when Manny get's everything he wants for Christmas. Greg only got a sweater that was supposed to be for a homeless guy. I would recommend this book because it's really funny. It's a hard book to put down.
