Books by Jeff Kinney

27 books · Ages 414

Jeff Kinney created Greg Heffley, one of the most recognizable characters in children's literature, and then let him stay exactly the same for nineteen books. The genius is in the consistency: middle school never improves, Greg never learns, and the comedy never stops being accurate. Kinney's work proves that a character doesn't need to grow to be compelling. Sometimes being seen clearly is enough.
