Diary of a Wimpy Kid


Book #1 in the New York Times Bestselling series by Jeff Kinney, this book gives a delightful glimpse into middle-school life from the perspective of Greg Heffley.  The book is written as his journal, not diary, and gives a very comic glimpse into his life.  The text is written to look handwritten and is accompanied by cartoon drawings.  The subject matter and format of the book make it highly appealing to older elementary and younger middle school students, boys in particular.  It's an easy, fun read and a great stepping off point for the rest of the series.
