About This Book
I'll be famous one day, but for now I'm stuck in middle school with a bunch of morons.
Being a kid can really stink. And no one knows this better than Greg Heffley, who finds himself thrust into middle school, where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving.
In Diary of a Wimpy Kid, author and illustrator Jeff Kinney introduces us to an unlikely hero. 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.
