Editorial Reviews:

The highly anticipated sequel to the #1 NEW YORK TIMES bestselling book!

Secrets have a way of getting out, especially when a diary is involved.

Whatever you do, don’t ask Greg Heffley how he spent his summer vacation, because he definitely doesn’t want to talk about it.

As Greg enters the new school year, he’s eager to put the past three months behind him . . . and one event in particular.

Unfortunately for Greg, his older brother, Rodrick, knows all about the incident Greg wants to keep under wraps. But secrets have a way of getting out . . . especially when a diary is involved.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules chronicles Greg’s attempts to navigate the hazards of middle school, impress the girls, steer clear of the school talent show, and most important, keep his secret safe.

Summary: Outstanding Read for Preteen Boys
Comment: I never know whether my son will like a book that I choose for him, or whether he would discard the book and return to his favorit addiction - his Nintendo DS. Diary of a Wimpy Kid arrived when I was at my office, and I gave him permission to open the Amazon package in that I knew what was inside. By the time I arrived home from my office, my son had not only begun reading the book, but he had actually finished the book!! His sitter stated that he pushed aside his video games and his Wii to read the book, cover to cover!!
Needless to say, I am thrilled with the book, my eight year old son enjoyed the story and the interation between the main character and his older brother. He had never read a book written as a "diary," and I was pleased with the way he adapted to the format. My son asked me whether there were more "Diary" books, so I also purchased the next book in the series. I highly recommend the book to anyone with a mature eight to 12 year old child in mind. (Is that an oxymoron?)

Summary: Funny!
Comment: Second book in the Wimpy Kid series.

Greg is a middle school student who fills his diary with amusing illustrations and written descriptions of his day-to-day struggles with his family and friends. Greg's older brother, Rodrick, is holding a secret over Greg's head that remains a secret until teh very end of the book. Rodrick uses his secret to take advantage of Greg, but it works out okay in the end.

Very funny. Teens will be able to relate to Greg, who feels like a misfit much of the time, but manages to have some fun along the way.

Summary: great book
Comment: I purchased this book for my son, who read another from the same author. He loved them both.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Parents read the book first.
Comment: This book is mean spirited and not really appropriate for children. I recommend parents read the book before they give it to children younger than 12.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Read this with your child!
Comment: I won't let my son read it without me...it is so funny!! I also started it with a student I tutor and she loved it too. It moves quickly and has funny little illustrations on most pages. This is a classic, I am going to get the other one today! This is perfect for kids who are less than excited about reading a chapter book. Love it.
