Genuinely really funny

I spent about 2 years subbing 6th grade so I can appreciate this story. it was cute and funny.

This was absolutely hilarious. I have to say the last half of this wasn't as good in certain parts, but I'm surprised it made me laugh so much! I'm in college and I laughed like a middle schooler. Loved this, and praise to Jeff Kinney for a great middle grade book!!

Reading the 6th book first in 5th grade and back then i didn't know this book was a series so when i found out in 6th grade i was so excited to finish the series but didn't have a lot of money back then and translated book in my country are expensive. so excited to finish this series!

This was quite possibly the best book ever to kick off the Case Family book group. Easy and fast to read, it gave Jon and I a great opportunity to talk about being good friends to people and following through on commitment with the boys. We also talked a lot about bullies. Great discussion!

I know, I know, it's a children's book. That being said, it was absolutely hilarious, a nice departure from the thick novels I've been reading, and I immediately related to the main character. Nostalgia wins for this one. If you're a guy and you attended public middle school, then this is a great, quick and funny read!

I am not the intended audience for this book. I thought it was okay, but I really only read it because E asked me to. E definitely liked it more than I did.
