The Wimpy Kid Movie Diary: How Greg Heffley Went Hollywood (Diary of a Wimpy Kid)Paperback

How a hugely popular illustrated series became a film is the whole subject of this 245-page companion, told with the same cartoons and asides that fill the novels. Penguin UK publishes it for readers of roughly seven to twelve. The book works through the stages of an adaptation, script, casting, sets, props and shooting days, using photographs from production alongside Jeff Kinney's drawings and commentary. It is a browsing book as much as a reading one: short sections, plenty of images and a structure that lets a child open it anywhere. For readers who have finished several Wimpy Kid novels, it answers the obvious question of what happens to a book once a studio picks it up. On the page: • 245 pages of film production material in Wimpy Kid style • Photographs from the shoot alongside original cartoons • Age guidance of about seven to twelve years • Dip-in structure suited to browsing rather than straight reading A fun addition for Wimpy Kid readers and young film enthusiasts, published by Penguin UK and available through Boipoka.
