Zoo-Wee Mama! Greg Heffley is a typical 5th-grader, struggling with how to be popular among the boys, especially the ones with cool video games. He also wants to avoid the girls, the morons, his older brother and his baby brother, not to mention various adults who make his life miserable. Kinney does a great job of creating a believable journal written and illustrated by a kid. I like the way Greg thinks – his schemes to get what he wants, win election to school office, develop and write a comic for the school newspaper, trick his uncle into getting him want he wants for Christmas, and to mold his friend Rowley into his image reminded me of my own younger brothers and their escapades.

This was a fun book.
Took me about 2 hours to read and I will be reading the rest of the series.
I love Fregley. "Juice JUICE!!!" lol you'll get that once you read it.
If you love something middle grade, fun, and easy then check this out.

Fun read, but I didn't find the main character very likable. It was a good representation of middle school, though. (Which is why my children will not be going to a middle school, even if they go to school for other grades.)

For my birthday I got a lovely boxset containing 1 to 5, and my boyfriend also gave me #6 in this series.

Finally had a chance to read how it all started! Really great book. :)
