Hilarious Fun and easy Read
Having loaned out all the previous books in this series to various members of my daughter's class (and the class above), this book arrived this week. I sneakily read it quickly before my daughter got hold of it - which was a good thing too because she raced through it in about 24 hours and took it to school today to lend out!

Once again Greg writes a wonderful journal of his life. Understated text set off by hilarious cartoons that had me laughing out loud as I read it. Few books get me actually laughing out loud, but that has been an experience for every one of this series (if you find this book first, the series begins with the red cover "Diary of a Wimpy Kid". Its useful to start at the beginning as some of the jokes refer back to events in previous books).

Greg is on summer break in this book, and the story of that break makes a wonderful self contained book that has a funny and very appropriate ending.

I highly recommend this book - and as its an easy read its a good series for less confident readers, but don't keep it from the confident readers too! Its too good not to share. Parents of my daughters friends (especially the ones who are boys) tell me they are having the funny bits read out to them over and over again! So this is perfect for ages about 8 and upwards (no upper age limits in my opinion!)

Howler!!
I bought this book for my 10 year old son who loved it. He's read all the others and couldn't wait to get his hands on this one. He laughed all the way through it and kept reading bits out to us.These are the only books that have grabbed his attention enough to take him off his PS3.

he's finished and he wants more!!
Much awaited for new Wimpy Kid book arrived this week and had my son (almost) in tears last night when he finished it. Thanks to Jeff Kinney for this great series though I have yet to read the books myself- I only have my sons word that they really are that good. Roll on the next book....
