Diary of a Wimpy Kid #1

Being a kid can really stink. And no one knows this better than Greg Heffley, who finds himself thrust into middle school, where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving. In Diary of a Wimpy Kid, author and illustrator Jeff Kinney introduces us to an unlikely hero. As Greg writes in his diary (sorry, journal): "One day when I'm famous, I'll have better things to do than answer people's stupid questions all day. So this is gonna come in handy." Told through handwritten notes and simple cartoon drawings, Greg's hilarious accounts of his family life, friendship with his best pal Rowley, and the struggle to fit in at school make this a relatable and highly entertaining read for audiences of all ages.
