Reading Journal: Diary of a Wimpy Kid


Zoo-Wee-Mama! What a funny journal about an average tween with a silly sense of humor. Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney is humorous story about the life of Greg Heffley including anecdotes about his runs-ins with Cheese, trees, and unease! Through cartoons and simple text, readers go through a year of school experiencing the pangs and idiosyncrasies of Greg's middle-school mishaps. Students will be able to relate to the events of his life and learn that they are not alone in their confusion and constant feeling of bad luck and irony. Some students may be peaked to write a journal of their own and eventually gain some intrapersonal perspective and enlightenment. Despite all the troubles Greg faces, the book is still easily read with a feeling of happiness and light-heartedness.
