Diary of a Wimpy Kid

By Jeff Kinney....if you have a child in grades 2nd to 7th, they may have read this book...or all four books in the series. Especially boys...they LOVE this series. The book is written as a journal of a middle school boy...and he draws as well as writes in his journal. The movie based on the book comes out March 19th (pushed back from its original date of April 2nd due to the release of CLASH OF THE TITANS!) Well, I wanted to know what all of the fuss was about. So I read it. What a hilarious book! No wonder so many kids love it. I have two copies of each of the books at the library and I am lucky if one is ever in! I was fortunate enough to snag this one a couple days ago...and read it in about 45 minutes! I recommend. The family is fun! Mom, Dad, older brother, and younger brother support Greg. He has a best friend and of course wants to find a girlfriend...and keep away from the bullies! First in a series of four (so far)...I recommend as a family read or for a child ages 8 to 11...
