Summary: Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a graphic novel about Gregg Heffley and his struggles in middle school. It is written in journal format, but he makes sure to point out it is a journal not a diary. Greg is just starting middle school with his best friend Rowley Jefferson. Rowley is a kind kid, but a little socially awkward. Greg also has a trickster of a older brother named Rodrick, a spoiled rotten little brother named manny, and two loving parents who try and support him in all that he does. This story takes you on Greg's adventure's from running from high school kids, playing video games with Rowley, to avoiding the "wierd" kids, joining the safety patrol and getting himself into a little trouble. You realize very quickly in the book, that he gets himself into a lot of trouble.
Personal Review: Jeff Kinney keeps you laughing throughout the whole book. He brings you back to middle school drama, and the things you thought, were going to ruin your life at that time.
Even though the reading level is ages 9-12 i believe all ages would enjoy it. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good, funny, light read.
