In the first book of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, #1 international bestselling author Jeff Kinney, introduces us to Greg Heffley: an unforgettable, unlikely hero that every family can relate to.
Being a kid can really stink. And no one knows this better than Greg. He finds himself thrust into middle school, where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving. Greg is happy to have Rowley Jefferson, 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.
The hazards of growing up before you're ready are uniquely revealed through words and drawings as Greg records them in his diary. But as Greg says: “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.

I don't understand why my kids like this series so much. But my younger son recommended it to me, so there we go.
Definitely getting book two :)
I hate the character of Greg though because he is soooo selfish and ambitious in a negative way. but this book is definitely funny and worthy of the four stars.
I hope Greg improves his grammar in book two
Не могу понять, почему эта книга так популярна? Книга о лентяе, неуче, плохом друге, в конце концов. Она не идет ни в какое сравнение с книгой Н.Носова “Витя Малеев в школе и дома”. Вот где прелесть. Вспоминаю ее сюжет с удовольствием. Хотя, наверное, американцев можно простить. Они, скорее всего, просто не читали нашего Носова.
