This book is about a kid named Greg. Greg is a kid who's in a rush to grow up. He's a kid who wants to get to that next level. He wants his bedtime to be later. He wants a cell phone. He wants to be able to see that PG-13 movie instead of PG and he doesn't realize what a good thing childhood is. Greg also has a friend named Rowley, And Rowley's job is to make Greg's life more and more Embarrassing! Greg is a lot like me because he wishes to be older. My mom always says "Enjoy childhood while you can!", But i think being older would be really cool. i love the series and this book will help me get through middle school. Rodrick is my favorite character, He is really funny and loves pulling pranks on his little brother, Greg. Manny on the other hand is super funny and creative. Manny is Greg's little brother, and Manny gets on Greg's nerves sometimes, just like my little brother named Ian. I am a little bit like Rodrick because i am the oldest, and i have the longest hair of the boys in my family. Frank is Greg's father. He wants Greg to play outside more, And Susan is Greg's mother. She is nice, but does not know very much about things that Greg and Rodrick like, and she wants to get them to read more. I really recommend this book to anybody who likes books that are funny, or anybody who is going to Middle school.

The launch of an exciting and innovatively illustrated new series narrated by an unforgettable kid every family can relate to
It’s a new school year, and Greg Heffley finds himself thrust into middle school, where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving. The hazards of growing up before you’re ready are uniquely revealed through words and drawings as Greg records them in his diary.
In book one of this debut series, Greg is happy to have Rowley, his sidekick, along for the ride. But when Rowley’s star starts to rise, Greg tries to use his best friend’s newfound popularity to his own advantage, kicking off a chain of events that will test their friendship in hilarious fashion.
Author/illustrator Jeff Kinney recalls the growing pains of school life and introduces a new kind of hero who epitomizes the challenges of being a kid. As Greg says in his diary, Just don’t expect me to be all Dear Diary’ this and Dear Diary’ that.” Luckily for us, what Greg Heffley says he won’t do and what he actually does are two very different things.
Since its launch in May 2004 on Funbrain.com, the Web version of Diary of a Wimpy Kid has been viewed by 20 million unique online readers. This year, it is averaging 70,000 readers a day.

''Greg Heffley finds himself thrust into middle school, where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving.''- This book is the start of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. It introduces you to Gregory (Greg) Heffley, his family, and his best friend, Rowley. Greg's mom buys him a journal, so he turns it into his diary where he explains his daily troubles, ranging from his problems at school, to troubles at his house. This book is hilarious, and I recommend it to people who enjoy the Dork Diaries series, and also enjoy other books written by Jeff Kinney. I rate it 5/5. I recommend it to elementary and middle schoolers.
Greg Heffley is just another tweenage boy entering middle school. He's the middle child of a classical family and is the best friend to a slightly clueless Rowley Jefferson. Greg's not a jock, or a nerd, or a geek - more like "that boy" in class. You know what I'm talking about. Despite being "the average American," though, Greg sees himself as something special. His egotistical nuances about the little things in life will make anyone's day. A perfect book for those entering the "awkward years" or simply want to relax their mind, the classic diary entry is reinvented in the mind of Greg Heffley.

It looks cool
The first book in Jeff Kinney's series was absolutely amazing, I loved it to the moon and back! It was truly capturing my butterfly attention.
This book is about Greg's first year of middle school. It talks about Greg and Rowley's relationship and it introduces Greg's family. During Halloween. Greg's dad likes to splash teenagers with water. By accident, he splashes water onto Greg. He also joins the safety patrols because he want authority and he wants the perks. I really liked this book because of the humor and fun in this book. I recommend this book to anyone.

To Sophiefoster10: I think the books was okay, but I didn't really like it as much as I like Dork Dairies. In all honesty, I might find the new book, Diary if an Awesome Friendly Kid, better. I would give this book maybe 2 or 3 stars, but I don't HATE it.
