What this book is about
Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid follows Greg Heffley, a seventh-grader navigating the social minefield of middle school with an inflated sense of self and a best friend, Rowley, who is far too guileless for Greg's schemes. Told through diary entries and cartoons, the novel captures the embarrassments, social hierarchies, and minor catastrophes of early adolescence with comic precision. The first of a massively successful illustrated series for middle-grade readers.
