Now a best-selling phenomenon, Greg Huffley’s diary – or journal as he insists it should be – captures the minutiae of his days as he starts middle school. In words and witty illustrations Greg plots how to improve his life and avoid previous pitfalls and, in particular, schemes and dreams of ways to increase his popularity – especially with the girls. Greg’s open musings are easy to read, touchingly honest and very entertaining.

This comic-style novel began life on www.funbrain.com, where 70,000 children per day have followed the diary. The funny illustrations and episodic storyline make this an easy to dip into read, particularly for boys. Ages: 8+.
Synopsis
This was Mom's idea, not mine. But if she thinks I'm going to write down my "feelings" in here or whatever, she's crazy. The only reason I agreed to do this at all is because I figure later on when I'm rich and famous, this book is gonna come in handy. But for now I'm stuck with a bunch of morons.
