Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a hilarious children's novel written and illustrated by Jeff Kinney about a boy named Greg Heffley struggling to make it through middle school. To do so, he must perform schemes and pranks to gain some status in the school, but each time he tries, he fails. In the end, Greg decides he needs no other approval then the one of his best friend Rowley.
This book's illustrations and writings are both done by Jeff Kinney. The book contains lines resembling paper and large handwriting written as if it were by a middle schooler, which adds to the humor of the story. The illustrations are similar to those of a graphic novel, but are more doodley.
This book is very well-liked by students from ages eight to fourteen. It has even won the Kids' Choice Award, which shows the love children have for this book. It is not only hilarious, but it is very relatable to students in the middle school age because the characters are dealing with real issues that students are dealing with at this time in their lives.
