About this listen

Brought to you by Puffin.

Book 1 of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series - from #1 international bestselling author Jeff Kinney, read by Dan Russell.

Greg Heffley finds himself thrust into a new year and a new school where undersize weaklings share the corridors with kids who are taller, meaner and already shaving.

Desperate to prove his new found maturity, which only going up a grade can bring, Greg is happy to have his not-quite-so-cool sidekick, Rowley, along for the ride. But when Rowley's star starts to rise, Greg tries to use his best friend's popularity to his own advantage. Recorded in his diary with comic pictures and his very own words, this test of Greg and Rowley's friendship unfolds with hilarious results.

Most relevant

This was the most amazing book I can remember reading since ( well I don't exactly remember when.)it's so much funnier than anything I can remember reading in a while. The bits with the teenagers who chased them on hallowe'en was like Argh !!RUN RUN RUUUUUUNN!!!!!!! The best thing about it was probably the bit where Greg through apples at peppermint patty and her glasses cracked and she couldn't see two feet in front of her LOL!!
