Diary of a Wimpy Kid 1 - Jay Kinney

Puffinbooks - <p>Greg Heffley finds himself thrust into a new year and a new school where undersize weaklings share the corridors with kids who are taller, meaner and already shaving. 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. This comic-style novel began life on www.funbrain.com, where 70,000 children per day have followed the diary. The funny illustrations and episodic storyline make this an easy to dip into read, particularly for boys. Ages: 8+.</p>
