<p>A DIARY OF A WIMPY KID STORY that will have you rolling with laughter, from number one bestselling author Jeff Kinney!</p>

<p>Hi my name is Rowley Jefferson and this is my book. Now I have a diary just like my friend Greg...</p>

<p>Rowley's best friend Greg Heffley has chronicled his middle-school years in thirteen&nbsp;Diary of a Wimpy Kid&nbsp;journals. Now it's Rowley's turn to give&nbsp;his&nbsp;side of the story.</p>

<p>But Rowley has agreed to tell Greg's story along the way, too. (After all, Greg says one day he will be rich and famous and the world will need to know how he managed it).</p>

<p>But Rowley's stories about Greg might not be quite what his friend had in mind . . .</p>

<p>Praise for Jeff Kinney:</p>

<p>Wreck This Picture Book</p>

<p>What if there were a book that changed every time you read it?</p>

<p>Actually, every book does this. We are all part of the books we read, because our individual reactions, ideas, and emotions make the book whole, and these things are changing all the time.</p>

<p>Keri Smith has helped millions of people free their creativity and find their own voice with her interactive books, and now she brings that sensibility to children and to the act of reading. This picture book is an invitation to honour your own vision and to welcome imperfection. Kids will discover that reading can engage all five senses, and that what they themselves bring to a book is an important contribution. (And of course they'll be invited to do a bit of harmless wrecking!)</p>

<p>"Not gonna lie, this is probably the coolest journal you'll ever see. . . . Wreck This Journal is here to inspire you." --BuzzFeed</p>

<p>"Smith pushes kids (and adults) to break convention by seeing the world as inspiration, rather than simply 'things.'" --GeekDad (of The Pocket Scavenger)</p>
