Laugh out loud funny!

I know so many kids who have read Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney that I decided it was about time I checked it out. Kids - you're brilliant. I haven't laughed at a book this much in ages! Greg Heffley is in his first year of middle school, and he describes it perfectly ("You've got kids like me who haven't hit their growth spurt yet mixed in with these gorillas who need to shave twice a day"), with goofy friends, annoying siblings, and clueless parents. The illustrations on every page are priceless, and Greg's thoughts and actions are both authentic and supremely funny. This is the first book in the Wimpy Kid series, and I bet the rest are just as funny. Be on the look-out: the fifth book is scheduled to be released in November!
