October 12, 2009 (October 13 in Canada) will be a big day for fans of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. On that day, the fourth book in the hilarious saga of the life of middle school student Greg Heffley, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days, will be released. Like the other books in the series, this "novel in cartoons" by Jeff Kinney will appeal to tweens and young teens (upper elementary and middle school students). The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series has also been a hit with reluctant readers.
