Greg Heffley is a middle schooler journaling his first year in middle school in this "novel in cartoons". Each chapter features another one of Greg's schemes in which he doesn't quite see the flaw in his plan, but the reader sure does. He wants to be popular and goes about it by trying to become school treasurer, writing the comic for the school paper, and getting the most candy at Halloween as well as other schemes. This realistic novel is is the first in "The Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series written by Jeff Kinney. Readers will relate to Greg's typical teenage problems and his search for his independent identity. The doodle-like illustrations compliment the humor in the book. His slapstick humor and wit will keep middle schoolers coming back for more.
