ANOTHER BOOK REPORT.....

 Diary of a Wimpy Kid Book 1

 

 

 

 

Synopsis

It’s a new school year, and Greg Heffley finds himself thrust into middle school, where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving. The hazards of growing up before you’re ready are uniquely revealed through words and drawings as Greg records them in his diary.

In book one of this debut series, Greg is happy to have Rowley, his sidekick, along for the ride. But when Rowley’s star starts to rise, Greg tries to use his best friend’s newfound popularity to his own advantage, kicking off a chain of events that will test their friendship in hilarious fashion.

Synopsis

 Secrets have a way of getting out, especially when a diary is involved.

Whatever you do, don’t ask Greg Heffley how he spent his summer vacation, because he definitely doesn’t want to talk about it.
As Greg enters the new school year, he’s eager to put the past three months behind him . . . and one event in particular.  Unfortunately for Greg, his older brother, Rodrick, knows all about the incident Greg wants to keep under wraps. But secrets have a way of getting out . . . especially when a diary is involved.  Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules chronicles Greg’s attempts to navigate the hazards of middle school, impress the girls, steer clear of the school talent show, and most important, keep his secret safe.

MY THOUGHTS

I really enjoyed reading these 2 books.  It gives you the  persective of what's it's like going into Middle School from the child's view.  Greg is always doing or saying the wrong things and it sometimes gets him into trouble.  But he always "fixes it"!

I give these  2 books 5

 

BOOK REPORTS......

 I've got couple books to post today.  I finished  the first 2 books of Diary of a Whimpy Kid.

Diary of a  Whimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney - Book 1

Synopsis 

It’s a new school year, and Greg Heffley finds himself thrust into middle school, where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving. The hazards of growing up before you’re ready are uniquely revealed through words and drawings as Greg records them in his diary.

In book one of this debut series, Greg is happy to have Rowley, his sidekick, along for the ride. But when Rowley’s star starts to rise, Greg tries to use his best friend’s newfound popularity to his own advantage, kicking off a chain of events that will test their friendship in hilarious fashion.

Author/illustrator Jeff Kinney recalls the growing pains of school life and introduces a new kind of hero who epitomizes the challenges of being a kid. As Greg says in his diary, “Just don’t expect me to be all ‘Dear Diary’ this and ‘Dear Diary’ that.†? Luckily for us, what Greg Heffley says he won’t do and what he actually does are two very different things. 

MY THOUGHTS:

I really liked this book.  Full of secrets to tell and not tell.  And life as a Middle School kid.  Greg is sometimes confused, sometimes full of surprises.  This book is introducing you to all the mishaps that happen in middle school.  How you find new friends and old.  And start rumors that can come back to bite you in the butt.  

I give this book 5
