"One day I’ll be famous, but for now I’m stuck in middle school with a bunch of morons." Being a kid can be tough sometimes. And no one knows this better than Greg Heffley, who suddenly finds himself in middle school, where small kids share the hallways with hulking teenagers who have already started shaving.
In Diary of a Wimpy Kid, author and illustrator Jeff Kinney introduces us to an unlikely hero. And as Greg writes in his diary: Don’t expect to see any "Dear diary, this" and "Dear diary, that," okay? Luckily for us, what Greg says he won’t do and what he actually ends up doing are two completely different things.
