Diary of a Wimpy Kid

18 books · Ages 4-14 · chapter book, graphic novel

Jeff Kinney's journal-format series has sold over 275 million copies because Greg Heffley is the kid nobody wants to admit they recognize. The humor is in the gap between how Greg sees himself and how the world sees him, and that gap never closes. Nineteen books, a do-it-yourself journal, and a universe that keeps expanding because middle school never stops being awkward.
