Publisher's Note
It's a new school year, and Greg Heffley finds himself thrust into middle school, where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving. The hazards of growing up before you're ready are uniquely revealed through words and drawings as Greg records them in his diary. In book one of this debut series, Greg is happy to have Rowley, 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.

Industry Reviews
"The format of brief diary entries with interspersed illustrations will certainly attract reluctant readers; it could also serve as an inspiration in creative writing courses or as a model for journaling."

    If you liked the first book, you'll like this one, too. My son wouldn't put the book down, he loved the cartoons and the font style and, of course, the adventures of Greg, his family and friends. This book takes place at the end of the summer and the following school year.

    This is one of the funniest children's books that I have ever read. The illustrations are fantastic and you really feel like you are reading a personal diary.

    Gregory is the middle child and tells about adventures with his older brother, Rodrick, and his baby brother, Manny. Every child will identify with the home and school drama in this book.

    I can hardly wait for the next book to be published.
