In book one of this debut series, Greg is happy to have Rowley, his sidekick, along for the ride. The hazards of growing up before you're ready are uniquely revealed through words and drawings as Greg records them in his diary. It's a new school year, and Greg Heffley finds himself thrust into middle school, where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving.

Narrator Ramon de Ocampo is completely tuned in to Greg's angst-filled point of view. One day Greg will be famous, but "for now I'm stuck in middle school with a bunch of morons." In a voice that brings to mind Holden Caulfield and David Sedaris rolled into one, Greg discusses the fleeting nature of popularity, the logic of bullying, and the fickleness of the fairer sex. And it's his mother's idea for him to chronicle his life as a tortured sixth-grader, not his. The main character wants to make one thing clear: this is NOT a diary-it's a journal.
