What this book is about
Greg Heffley is not thrilled to be starting middle school. Armed with his 'journal' (NOT a diary) and his best friend Rowley, Greg attempts to navigate the social ladder, the school play, and a series of misadventures that escalate from mild to memorably embarrassing. Kinney's blend of prose and cartooning captures the specific mortification of being twelve with perfect pitch. The series has introduced millions of reluctant readers to the pleasures of books.
