Middle school is full of trials and tribulations for Greg Heffley, and Mom thinks it's a good idea for him to keep a diary. So she gets him one—and it actually says diary on the cover!—exactly what he told her not to get!! Such is Greg's life, hilariously captured in prose and cartoon by Kinney, author of the wildly popular Wimpy Kid series.
Meet the kid who made “wimpy” cool, in a family comedy based on the illustrated bestselling novel Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney, the first in a series that has sold 24 million copies to date. The live-action movie, DIARY OF A WIMPY KID, chronicles the adventures of wise-cracking Greg Heffley, who must somehow survive the scariest time of anyone’s life: middle school.
Aside from writing and illustrating the wonderfully funny Wimpy Kid series, Jeff Kinney is a Web and game developer for the Family Education Network. It was while he managed Funbrain, the Network's site featuring cool educational games, that Wimpy Kid first appeared online. He is also the creative force behind Poptropica, a safe virtual world for kids. All this put him on Time's list of the 100 Most Influential People of 2009. His legions of fans would agree: Kinney's Wimpy kid series is credited with turning reluctant readers into happy readers.
