Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Kinney, J.  (2007).  Diary of a wimpy kid  NY:  Amulet Books.

Greg Heffley keeps a journal (not a diary!) of his first year in middle-school.  There are stories of trials and triumphs and mishaps as well as the common awkward moments one experiences in middle school.  The informal text truly reads like a journal, with hand drawn pictures included.  The reader can't help but laugh at the various antics in the book.  Readers can related to the characters of this book and the plot is easy to follow and engaging.  Here is a book trailer for the book, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9DIx1VJRMs .
