My 11.27.2007 description:
Greg Heffley is a typical middle school kid who writes about his experiences and perspective on things.
My 11.27:2007 reaction:
IMHO, this kid's a little jerk. The book made me laugh a couple of times, and it will be easy to booktalk.
Added 1.4.2025:
There are now at least 15 titles in this series. The one major redeeming quality is that non-readers are usually willing to read these books. The drawings, simple text, and offbeat scenarios are appealing to lots of middle schoolers. I personally don't like them, but I'm grateful that Kinney has put out so many books that are appealing to tweens and some teens.
