It's DIARY OF A WIMPY KID #2, and I can't wait to read #3. These books are fantastic. The tales and adventures of
Greg Heffley and his creative illustrations are well worth your time.
Greg begins his second diary. He almost decided it wasn't worth it after Rodrick got his hands on the first diary, but once
again he writes about his frustrations with his older brother, Rodrick, and his younger brother, Manny. Greg reveals all the
embarrassing encounters involving his mother's determination to butt into his life. He also includes tales of his bumpy
relationship with his best friend, Rowley.
Imaginative cartoon drawings combined with fresh, wacky humor make the DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: RODRICK
RULES popular with even the most sophisticated readers in my middle school. Everyone considers it just plain fun to read.
Anyone who is currently striving to survive middle school, or anyone who remembers the pain, is sure to appreciate the
good-natured humor in Jeff Kinney's creative series.
