Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Movie Diary (The Next Chapter)

Film sets, scripts and the business of turning cartoon characters into a live-action production are the subject of this Wimpy Kid movie companion. Penguin UK issues the 200-page paperback as a behind-the-scenes volume rather than a novel, built around photographs, notes and Jeff Kinney's drawings. It covers how a film adaptation is assembled, from casting and set-building to the small practical problems that come with shooting, and it keeps the humour and visual style of the main series throughout. Readers who already know Greg Heffley get a look at the machinery behind the screen version rather than another instalment of his diary. Points to consider: • Companion volume tied to a Wimpy Kid film adaptation • 200 pages combining photographs, notes and cartoons • Non-fiction in format while keeping the series' comic voice • Reads separately from the numbered Wimpy Kid novels Suits Wimpy Kid fans curious about film-making, published by Penguin UK and stocked by Boipoka.
