Diary of a whimpy kid

Kinney, J. (2007). Diary of a wimpy kid. NY: Amulet Books.

Gregory is entering middle school and could not feel any more out of place.  He sees the other students and thinks middle school is a waist of time.    He and has his best friend Rowley will live highs and lows during their first year of middle school.  We follow their adventures and see if they survive middle school.

Jeff Kinney takes us where few dare to go, middle school.  This humorous and realistic story of an awkward kid, Gregory and his best friend Rowley takes us to a time where the transition of young child and adolescent happens.  The characters are very relatable and many readers might have even been in situations similar to Gregory.  The stick man illustrations help readers visualize the scenes described in the story.
