By Jeff Kinney

Abrams Books for Young Readers (April 1, 2007)

Grade 5–8

Greg Heffley has actually been on the scene for more than two years. Created by an online game developer, he has starred in a Web book of the same name on www.funbrain.com since May 2004. This print version is just as engaging. Kinney does a masterful job of making the mundane life of boys on the brink of adolescence hilarious. .—Kim Dare, Fairfax County Public Schools, VA
