The world has gone crazy for Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid series

Kinney is right up there with J K Rowling as one of the bestselling children's authors on the planet

Hilarious!

The most hotly anticipated children's book of the year is here - Diary of a Wimpy Kid

A breath of fresh air. It is entertaining yet tender but by no means sentimental when it confronts the need we all have for commitment in relationships, for trust, for love . . . A real bonus is that the book genuinely celebrates the act of writing - and not by preaching, I promise

Tracy is a marvellously feisty creation: she is arrogant and rude, but the occasional glimpses we get of the vulnerable girl behind the tough exterior are enough to endear her to the reader . . . The excellent spiky illustrations by Nick Sharratt on nearly every page are a perfect complement to the text

Poignant, funny and heartwarming first story about the damaged, demanding and delightful Tracy Beaker

I think this is my favourite book of all
