Diary of a Wimpy Kid Amulet Books
This is a graphic (picture) book about a boy, Greg Heffley, facing the challenges of middle school. It hilariously goes through the challenges of a middle school boy: namely girls and social status. As his year goes on, Greg is faced with challenge after challenge that test his morals and show his faults, which he is usually unaware of or unable to admit. Kinney does a great job using middle school boy dialect and attitudes, making the reader feel like they are in the mind of Greg Heffley, a middle school boy.
WARNING: Not applicable for this book.
Personal opinion:
This was a really fun, easy read. I thought the dialogue was nailed precisely and sounded just like a middle school boy. I also really enjoyed the truthfulness of the challenges Greg had. He wasn't concerned about anyone but himself: classic middle school boy, at least in my experience. Great book for anyone, especially junior high students.
