‘Kinney is right up there with J K Rowling as one of the bestselling children’s authors on the planet’ — Independent. With over 250 million copies sold worldwide, the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series is a genuine global phenomenon — and this is where it all started. Greg Heffley has one thing to make clear from the off: ‘Let me get something straight: this is a JOURNAL not a diary… The other thing I want to clear up right away is that this was MOM’s idea, not mine.’ Middle school is not going well for Greg. He’s navigating corridors full of kids who are taller, meaner and already shaving — and he’s desperate to prove he’s finally growing up. His best friend Rowley seems to be managing the popularity game rather better. Can Greg keep up? Packed with 50% words, 50% cartoons and 100% laughs, this is the book that launched a series no reader can resist — from #1 international bestselling author Jeff Kinney. Also look out for Rowley Jefferson’s Awesome Friendly Adventure and its predecessor Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid: Rowley Jefferson’s Journal.
