The hilarious and original global bestseller Diary of a Wimpy Kid - perfect for readers of 8+ and also reluctant readers, everyone loves the adventures of Greg Heffley. You can also discover Diary of a Wimpy Kid on the big screen in the major motion blockbusting Wimpy Kid Movie franchise. Let me get something straight: this is a JOURNAL, not a diary. This was Mom`s idea, not mine. But if she thinks I`m going to write down my feelings in here or whatever, she`s crazy. The only reason I agreed to do this at all is because I figure later on when I`m rich and famous, this book is gonna come in handy. But for now I`m stuck with a bunch of morons. Today is the first day of school, so I figured I might as well write in this book to pass the time. Just don`t expect me to be all Dear Diary this and Dear Diary that.
