Penguin presents the audio CD edition of Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney, read by Dan Russell.

Let me get something straight: this is a JOURNAL, not a diary. This was Mom's idea, not mine. But if she thinks I'm going to write down my "feelings" in here or whatever, she's crazy.

The only reason I agreed to do this at all is because I figure later on when I'm rich and famous, this book is gonna come in handy.

But for now I'm stuck with a bunch of morons.

Today is the first day of school, so I figured I might as well write in this book to pass the time.

Just don't expect me to be all "Dear Diary" this and "Dear Diary" that.

Reviews

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

—— Sun

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

—— Independent

Hilarious!

—— Sunday Telegraph

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

—— The Big Issue

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

—— The School Librarian

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

—— The Bookseller

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

—— Birmingham Post

I think this is my favourite book of all

—— Junior Education
