Summary: Greg Heffley is stuck in
middle school, or the dumbest idea ever invented. In his journal, not a diary, he records his thoughts on girls, Phys ed., taking
care of his little brother, dealing with parents, video games, friends and all
the stuff that can make the first year a middle school a bust.
Review: Laugh out loud funny this book is
fantastic. I wish I had read this when
my son was in middle school. Jeff Kinney’s
characters and situations involving Greg, Rowley, Rodrick, even Mom and Dad are
brought to life by his lively illustrations. Greg is kind of a bully but in the
end he proves that he is a true friend.
