He's Back! New Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Middle school students (and a lot of fourth and fifth graders) love the very funny Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. They'll be delighted to know the third book in the series is now available. Like the other books, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw, is written is the form of the diary of middle schooler Greg Haffley and illustrated with Greg's cartoons. In this book, the emphasis is on Greg's crush on a classmate and his skirmishes with his father. Once again, author Jeff Kinney has done a great job, in words and pictures, of illustrating both the general goofiness that comes with being a self-centered adolescent and the funny things that happen as a result.
