"Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever" by Jeff Kinney

Was anyone else über excited for the newest Diary of a Wimpy Kid book?  I expected to read the book as soon as I got home from work, but I didn't quite expect to hurry and read it so that my boyfriend's brother could get his hands on it (not complaining, though I might have picked up an extra copy from the library had I known).


Jeff Kinney hit another home run in my opinion with Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever.  As usual, Greg Heffley has a scheme up his sleeve; this time he's trying to get the best possible present for Christmas and spend as little on presents for his family so that he can buy something for himself- particularly tokens for Net Kritterz, an online pet site.  As can be expected, Greg and best friend Rowley have a plan to make it rich that ends in a way they never expected, only this time the police are involved!  But that's just a tiny bit of what happens to Greg.  You'll have to read the book to find out all of shenanigans Greg get himself into.

If you haven't read this series yet, I highly recommend it.  And if you know an elementary or middle school boy that hasn't read it, now is the perfect time to get off the computer and take them to the nearest library or bookstore!

Happy Reading!

"The Diary of a Wimpy Kid" Series by Jeff Kinney

Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney is the perfect book series for any reluctant reader (particularly boys!). It is also perfect for the reader that can appreciate a good laugh! Kinney gets right to the heart of the trials and tribulations of life in middle school, but with a humorous twist. I found myself laughing out loud numerous times, and quickly finished the first three books in one evening. Since then, I have immediately picked up Dog Days and The Ugly Truth on their days of release and am anxiously awaiting Cabin Fever (November 15, 2011).

The books, told through Greg Heffley’s diary, follow Greg’s life as he goes through middle school and deals with his older brother Rodrick, his younger brother Manny and his best friend Rowley. Greg is your standard middle schooler; he thinks he knows everything about everything (which he doesn’t), believes that the world revolves around him (it doesn’t) and still can’t handle doing his own laundry.

I can’t say enough that these books are hilarious! I love these books because they can appeal to just about any age group, even though they are written for young readers. I think that these are the type of books that kids can easily enjoy with their parents. If you haven’t already read them you’re missing out!
