Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney

Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney is a book about a boy named Greg Heffley who finds himself in the sea of middle grade students ranging from the small and ordinary to the ones that have muscles and are growing facial hair. Where is one to fit in?” If it was up to me, grade levels would be based on height, not age. But then gain, I guess that would mean kids like Chirag Gupta would still be in the first grade.” Greg thinks if someone sees me, they are going to get the wrong idea. Greg finds himself writing in his journal about his life as a sixth grader and how to fit in. "Just don't expect me to be all "Dear Diary" this and "Dear Diary" that. That's for girls. This is my favorite quote from the story because I think it is very funny. Greg’s best friend Rowley Jefferson begins to make strides in popularity and Greg latches on to bring himself popularity, which kicks off a domino affect that tests their friendship in hilarious fashion. This laugh out loud book is a must read not only for boys but also for anyone that has gone through the tribulations of middle school. This book is a book that you cannot put down. This is one of the funniest books I have ever read. I think Greg has a one in a kind personality because sometimes he is in a good mood with Rowley but other days he had enough with Rowley. Greg has two brothers Manny and Rodrick. Manny is five years old and he is always telling on Greg so Greg gets in trouble. Rodrick is Greg’s older brother, Rodrick is always pulling pranks on Greg. One time it was 3:00 in the morning and Rodrick came in to Greg’s room pulled down all of the shades so he wouldn’t know it was dark and he turned up the clock. So Greg didn’t think it was a prank so he got dressed and went downstairs to eat breakfast, a few minutes later his dad came down to see what was going on and he yelled at Greg for eating cereal so early in the morning. You should read the book to find out all of the other pranks that Rodrick did to Greg and to see what happed when Greg’s dad went downstairs to see what Rodrick was doing. I would rate this book 5 stars.
