The first in Jeff Kinney`s side-splitting series, join Greg Heffley as he`s thrust into a new year, and a new school, where undersize weaklings share the corridors with kids who are taller, meaner and already shaving.

I`ll be famous one day, but for now I`m stuck in middle school with a bunch of morons.

Desperate to prove his new found maturity, which only going up a grade can bring, Greg is happy to have his not-quite-so-cool sidekick, Rowley, along for the ride.

But when Rowley`s star starts to rise, Greg tries to use his best friend`s popularity to his own advantage.

Recorded in his diary with comic pictures and his very own words, this test of Greg and Rowley`s friendship unfolds with hilarious results.

Laugh until you cry at all of Greg`s hopeless shenanigans. Diary of a Wimpy Kid has got millions of kids reading and laughing at (but mostly with) the famous Greg Heffley.

If you`re on the lookout for a funny children`s book for 7+, especially a book for reluctant readers, you can`t go wrong with the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.
