Author and illustrator Jeff Kinney recalls the growing pains of school life and introduces a new kind of hero who epitomizes the challenges of being a kid. Luckily for us, what Greg Heffley says he won't do and what he actually does are two very different things.This exciting and innovatively illustrated series is narrated by an unforgettable kid every family can relate to. His mother forces him to keep a diary and in it, he loosely recounts each day's events. Comic illustrations, preteen dialogue and narration, serve as a hilarious counterpoint to Greg's often deadpan voice. The hero's utter obliviousness to his friends and family becomes a running joke.
