Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Greg Heffley is back, still certain he deserves more credit than the world gives him and still recording every injustice in his diary, illustrated with Jeff Kinney's scratchy, deadpan cartoons. This is the twentieth Diary of a Wimpy Kid book, and the series' mix of short entries, drawings and Greg's hopelessly misplaced confidence carries on as before.

For children who already know Greg, Rowley and the rest of the Heffley household, this is one more instalment to race through. It also suits younger readers who find a solid block of text hard going.
