Rating: - Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinny
Yes, I know what you're thinking. A novel? In... Cartoons? Well, here's the thing. Diary of A Wimpy Kid is written as the journal of Greg Heffley. It is a real novel, with a few pictures here and there to reinforce what you have read and to add a bit of comedy to the already funny book. So, if I haven't already explained the plot of the "journal", I'll do so now. The book chronicles the daily trials of Greg Heffley and his immoral older brother, Rodrick; his tough parents; his little brother, Manny; his odd friend, Rowley; and a disapproving school body.
There really isn't one clear plot. Like, I said earlier, it explains the days of Greg's life. Here are a few examples. There was the time where Greg ran for school treasurer and the time that Greg and Rowley tried to build a haunted house in Rowley's basement. I also remember the part where Greg signed up for his school's production of the Wizard of Oz -and became a tree. And who can forget the Christmas where Greg got a Barbie?
Greg is your average tween in a bully-filled world. He is quite skinny for his age group, all the more laughable to his peers. And to top that off, his best friend is the biggest geek in all of middle school. I think Greg is a bit insecure. He sometimes acts more modestly than what he deserves; and when someone bold steps in and does the same thing, they usually get all the credit, as opposed to Greg. The book's title is more proof of Greg's insecurity. He refers to himself as wimpy, which is only, at most, half of what he is.
Now, don't get me wrong. Greg is strong in his own way. He has to live with the torture of what his older brother Rodrick dishes out on him. Rodrick is part of a band, "Loded Diaper", and their music would be enough to kill Greg. And if not just that, Greg also has to endure the jokes and humiliation caused by Rodrick. But, of course, Greg can always dish out payback. His younger brother is a bigger problem. Manny gets whatever he wants, and if anyone messes with Manny, it's lights out for them. There was this one time where Manny drew all over Greg's door. But here's the worst part. His parents practically gave him a standing ovation. But, being Greg, Greg always manages to find a way around it.
The author, Jeff Kinney, is a genius. I thought this book was hilarious and very cleverly written. I can easily relate to the things Greg goes through. His school and neighborhood were nearly identical to mine. Greg goes through things that real middle school students have to suffer. There are two more books to this series made so far, and one isn't out yet. The other one was equally as funny. I would definitely recommend this book to the middle school audience it reaches out to.
Rating: - Wimpy, Wimpy, Wimpy
Diary of a Wimpy Kid is an excellent book for students who are in fifth grade or above. It shares advice with students to help them cope with the difficult world of middle school. However, let's make one thing clear; the book is not a diary. It is a journal per say according to the Greg Heffley. He is only doing the journal for his mother. Greg is thrown into the middle school world of bullies, morons, and know it alls. He faces snow ball fights, older and younger siblings, and holidays throughout the book taking everything in stride.
Rating: - Fantastic Series
My nine year old grandson LOVES the first two books in this series. He has re-read them several times, and the books always make him laugh. The author is right-on for this age group. My grandson can't wait until the next two books come out. There are so many great book series for girls, there needs to be more for boys. Great job, Jeff!
