About this ebook

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.

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. F&P level: T

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
