While attending open house this year at my 10 year old sons school, he found this book for sale at the book fair. We thumbed through it, and thought it looked cute, so we purchased it, and read it together.
Its narrated by this middle-school aged kid in the form of a diary, with sketches and doodles included on every page, and basically follows his days from the begining of the school year to the end. He is a bit of a loser, and trys to create a better image for himself through attempts at being class treasurer, a cartoonist for the school paper, a saftey patrol member....
We were both cracking up most of the way through the book. But there were times we also both looked at each other and shook our heads.. as the wimpy kid in question did some very mean and backhanded things as well....
Very cute, very interesting, and well worth the read for any school age kid and his parents....
We are going to run out to buy the new sequel....

Lori: did you know that there are actually 9 whole books in the DIARY OF A WIMPY KID SERIES. The author, Jeff Kinney, comes out with new books every November. I am pretty sure that the new book coming out is called OLD SCHOOL. Enjoy!
lori comment back if you get this i am 12years old and i am kind of small for a 12 year old but i am some people think that i am 9 or10 but i am 12
very bad book.I hate it OMG!it's the ugliest that I ever heard in my life!everyone listen up,the diary of wimpy kid is banded,no one is reading the diary of wimpy anymore!worstest book ever.no good coments anymore OK!hate your books.
I like the books and it only takes me 45minutes to read one now the only ones I need to read are cabin fever,the last straw and the movie diary.
Now, I’m reading the book, called “ Diary of a Wimpy Kid”. There are a lot of reviews on “Goodreads” about it. I chose one, that is written by you. You have a brief review of the book, but maybe, I would add a little bit more of it. Your argument was, that it is very cute an interesting. That there are a lot of drawings, that are also a part of this story. You also have added your own opinion about it, that I completely agree with. We are on the same page, because we have similar opinion and feelings about it. I also like this book very much!
