Diary of a Wimpy Kid (Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Book 1)
by Jeff Kinney
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.
