Diary of a Wimpy Kid

The world's most unlikely hero: Greg Heffley, a truly Wimpy Kid.

In this series, brand new to Hurst Library, you have the opportunity to read Greg's diary and see the world from his perspective. After all, it is terribly difficult to be a kid!

Not only do we have the first installment of this funny series...


But also the middle two...


And the last!

This way you don't have to wait until the new ones come out to get your Wimpy Kid fix.

Note to parents: This is the book I would hand to readers who were just advancing from Reading Level 4 or 5 (mid-elementary school), but were too intimidated by a lot of text. Wimpy kid integrates a fair amount of text with funny cartoons. This is a great bridge into larger, thicker books - it has the heft of a larger chapter book with the word count of a Learn-to-Read. After this, they can move right onto Percy Jackson!

Enjoy the adventure!
