Diary of a Wimpy Kid

by Jeff Kinney.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a "novel in cartoons" that records the experiences of middle-schooler Greg Heffley, a self-described wimp. Accompanied by many cartoon drawings, the entries are pretty hilarious and Greg's experiences are ones that just about any middle schooler or former middle schooler can relate to: Greg gets in big trouble with his parents, is disappointed with his Christmas gifts , has a falling out with his best friend and experiences his first haunted house to name a few.

Diary of Wimpy Kid is unusual in that it began life as a series of journal or blog entries on the FunBrain website. In fact, you can still read journal entries for the "Wimpy Kid" on the website.
