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.

Zoo Wee, Mama

Far be it from me to say anything less than luminous about one of the most popular books ever written for middle school students. And make no mistake—this curious little combination of cartoons and fictional diary entries reeks of all the anxiety, uncertainty, misguided energy, and pure silliness that pretty much defines life in middle school. Informed by themes of friendship, popularity, bullying, achieving “coolness,” avoiding the inevitable embarrassment caused by parents, and just trying to make sense of the imminent passage into adulthood, Diary of a Wimpy Kid nails it.
