My students and my sons LOVE Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. I couldn’t let anymore time pass before I read this for myself. I have seen some of the movies but hadn’t read the books.
Greg Heffley is a typical middle school student. He makes mistakes, and shows us authentic middle school life as a student, brother, and son. He’s just trying to get through life. My students and son find him so relatable, and I enjoyed seeing his view of his parents and teachers.
I see so many teachers say these aren’t “real” books, which I find disappointing. If this helps unlock a love of reading, helps a person feel “seen,” and gives me a connection with my students and sons, I’m all in.

Genuinely hilarious! A great pallet cleanser, and actually quite witty. I smiled so much!
Diary of a Wimpy Kid is hilarious! A middle school diary by Greg Heffley is full of funny drawings and awkward moments we can all relate to. In Greg's stories, I laughed a lot about everything from bullying to fitting in. Any middle schooler, or anyone looking for a good laugh will enjoy this book. It’s also quick and easy to read, which is awesome. -Teen Volunteer, Adhyyan R.
