About this ebook

In the first book of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, #1 international bestselling author Jeff Kinney introduces us to Greg Heffley: an unforgettable, unlikely hero that every family can relate to.

Being a kid can really stink. And no one knows this better than Greg. He finds himself thrust into middle school, where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving.

Greg is happy to have Rowley Jefferson, 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.

The hazards of growing up before you're ready are uniquely revealed through words and drawings as Greg records them in his diary. But as Greg says: “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.

Ratings and reviews

I love it. packages were landed, the little boats were made fast to the beach by placing heavy rocks on their ropes. If the men had n't fastened them like this, after a while the tide would have carried the boats out to sea. No sooner had they landed than the girls asked their mothers: — "May we go in bathing now?" And the mothers said: — "Yes, you must go in before eating or not at all." So the girls found a place behind some thick bushes where they changed their clothes for their bathing-suits. They hung their clothes on the bushes while they went into the water. While the girls were frolicking in the new bathing-place, the older people were preparing the dinner. Uncle Ned found a nook between some great rocks where the wind did not blow. He placed the oil stove here and set the kettle of chowder on it. Dorothy's father prepared a fire for the coffee-pot. He had to make a stove for the fire. First he built a little pile of flat stones. Then he made another pile just the same height a few inches away from the first one. The space between the piles of stones was for the fire. The coffee-pot was to set across the tops of the stones with the fire underneath Magdalena Carmen Frida Kah

I love these books they are good and funny. I hilly recommend this book to people who like funny books. They have so many books and they are good for kids and even adults. They are long but not to long they are the perfect size.

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH I love how the acting is it's the most CLASSIC NOVEL IN THE WORLD I also want to meet Jeff Kinney
