The 1st book of Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. Not like other ordinary diary, this book is a journal of Gregory Heffley, a middle school boy with ordinary life but brilliantly written.

Wow! So I came across this book at Walmart, but of course, I had heard of it. This book is perfect for 12 year olds( like my nephews) and the of course love it. Even though I am a grown woman( a young adult) it was so funny and cute to me. I love Greg! I can definitely see how it's relatable and addicting for middle school kids.
