This book was created by online game developer Jeff Kenney. He started www.funbrain.com.
Middle school student Greg Heffley's mother forces him to keep a diary ("I know what it says on the cover, but when Mom went out to buy this thing I specifically told her to get one that didn't say 'diary' on it"). Greg recounts each day's events with his comic illustrations.
Greg wants to do the right thing, but the constant quest for status and girls seems to undermine his every effort. His attempts to prove his worthiness in the popularity race (he estimates he's currently ranked 52nd or 53rd) are constantly foiled by well-meaning parents, a younger and older brother, and nerdy friends.
This book is one of favorites. If you want to read the original version of Diary of a Wimpy go www.funbrain.com. You can read it online and do loads of other fun things. But one thing you should do right away is buy this book!! Tell me what you think of this book and tell me your favorite books!
