See the collection here: https://www.penguin.com.au/brand/diary-of-a-wimpy-kid The number one bestselling series is perfect for reluctant and enthusiastic readers alike between 6–13 years old. Greg Heffley is just a wimpy kid facing all the challenges of middle school. Selfish, lazy, greedy, cheeky and mischievous, he is also very funny and is prone to moments of kindness. Being a kid can really stink. And no one knows this better than Greg Heffley, who finds himself thrust into high school where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving. Luckily Greg has his best friend and sidekick, Rowley. But when Rowley's popularity starts to rise, it kicks off a chain of events that will test their friendship in hilarious fashion. Written and illustrated by Jeff Kinney.
