Diary of a Wimpy Kid

             Jeff Kinney's book, "Diary of a Wimpy Kid," is by far one of my favorite books I have ever read. The book introduces us to Greg Heffley. Greg is an ordinary kid, just trying to make it through middle school. He has a crazy family, Dad, Mom, older brother Roderick, and a younger brother Manny. He also has a best friend, Rowley. They are best buds, but Rowley is usually the side-kick to Greg's ideas. One of my favorite storylines of the book is when Greg and Rowley go trick or treating and then accidentally make some of the older kids mad. Later in the book, Greg is on Safety-Patrol for the school. He was walking the kindergarteners home in the rain, when he sees the truck of the angry kids coming his way. He start pushing the little kids into a big dirt hole in the ground to hide from the kids in the truck. It turns out it wasn't even the angry kids, and then a neighbor lady sees that he pushed all the kids in the hole. He was wearing Rowley's raincoat, so the next day at school, Rowley is blamed for pushing the kids in the hole. Now Greg and Rowley arent friends anymore till the end of the book when they work things out. 

                  I really enjoyed rereading this book because it's just a great book to read. I think that Greg reminds me of myself in away. He is just trying to get through middle school, and that can be tough. I love how funny the book is and how Greg is called bubby by his little brother. That's what we call my brother josh! This is an excellent book for kids that want to read something funny and enjoyable. I remember after reading this book, I went and read the next few books of the series. This is a very relatable book, and I think any kids that are trying to make it through middle school would really enjoy this book. It teaches a lot about the importance of family, friends, and being true to your self. I would recommend this book to anyone!
