DisneyDenizen:Perfect for Reluctant Readers and Children of All Ages
In 2007, the first volume in a series of children’s books was published. It exploded onto the elementary school scene and got America’s school children reading again. As new books appeared in subsequent years, children snapped them up and devoured them. To them, it was the literary event of the year.
As the title “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” implies, the books are written from Greg’s point of view. Hand drawn pictures abound on every page. The text is so clever that children, adolescents, and adults can all appreciate it. When a new book is released, there is a gentle fight at our house over who gets to read it first. There is one illustration in the first book that was so hilarious that I laughed till I cried. (I won’t spoil it for you with details.)
Vera D.Things we know so far:· It is book 14· It is coming out Nov 5 2019· There is a picture of a wrecking ball, I'm pretty sure.· 224 pages instead of 217 but that is the cover and acknowledgements and stuff like that I'm pretty sureTheories: Greg's house is getting demolished· The wrecking ball might be a non-literal hint, like a big event is coming.Sorry for the small review, bye

No, this book series was not Harry Potter (published 1997-2007). This new series followed the misadventures of lazy unprincipled undisciplined middle school miscreant Greg Heffley. And school children everywhere ate them up. While the buzz over these books eventually died down, they are every bit as good as when they were first released, and each new addition to the series remains hilarious. If your child is a reluctant reader and/or 8 - 10 years old, definitely get him or her started on the first book! (While the protagonist is a boy, my children are both girls. In my experience with my own and other children, both genders love these books.)
