Middle school through the eyes of a boy who is certain he deserves better, recorded in a journal he insists is not a diary, is where Jeff Kinney's series begins.
Penguin UK's paperback runs to 280 pages and is suggested for readers of eight and up. The design is the reason the series travelled so far: handwritten-style text, cartoon panels on every page and entries short enough that a child never faces a wall of print. Greg Heffley is an unreliable narrator whose schemes rarely survive contact with reality, and the comedy comes from the gap between his account of a day and what plainly happened. It is the right place to start.
Quick facts:
• Opening book of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series
• 280 pages of cartoons and journal entries
• Reading guidance of eight years and above
• Frequently recommended for children who resist longer novels
Ideal for newly independent readers and school libraries, published by Penguin UK and available at Boipoka.
