Looooooove Wimpy Kid? Then allow me to introduce to you, the almighty ‘Dog Days'. This new book starts from the part where Greg explains how he is an indoors person but eventually ends up in the Country Club with his buddy Rowley. One day, they bring this new girl Trista to the club and Rowley’s dad got pretty steamed up about that situation, so bottom line is, this is how Greg lost his Country Club privileges. Then, Greg has to go back to the town pool. I’ll give you a brief explanation of the area - it is where men shower in the open (pretty traumatic according to Greg) and where Greg tried to get his love Heather Hills (sister of Holly Hills, read: last straw!). So, moving on, the annoying comic ‘little cutie’ is going to send up its last edition and the headlines are that Rodrick has this scary movie called ‘the muddy hand’ which is pretty spooky. This movie ends up making Greg the ultimate scaredy cat; he does such bizarre things that you can’t even think of because of that muddy hand movie. No wonder Greg is wimpy - he goes to the parlour and gossips with the aunties sitting there! Can you believe it?! Greg’s fun-killer mom starts a new club called ‘reading is fun’ and it is so dead boring for Greg (I wonder why he didn’t sleep halfway through?)! Greg continues on his bizarre, turning and twisting adventure, from waterslide parks to beach visits to the ultimate ride that makes you a man called the cranium shaker... but I can’t reveal it all otherwise what’s the fun? I can tell you my views though….. it is absolutely hilarious bluboriously fascinating and all the other words from outer space - this book is excellent, each part of the book is unique in its own way with an as always perfect art! A must read (exceptions are if you are in outer space or mad). The latter part of the book, which I can't reveal because I don't want people dying of laughter, is hilarious. You cannot call yourself a Wimpy Kid fan without reading this! Must read! Must read! Must read!

The Diary of Amos Lee By Adeline Foo
If you take a look at the front page of the book you will find a ribbon saying if you liked Diary of a Wimpy Kid, you’ll love Amos Lee and that’s exactly what happened. Amos Lee was forced to write a diary by his mother (as usual) but with a twist; Amos Lee has to write his diary in the loo, but that’s fine with Amos. This book revolves around Amos, Amos’s mother’s strange assignments, the prefect bully, his family, his friends and food. Amos’s mother gets strange assignments like going prawn fishing, going to the frog farm etc, but mostly all assignments are about food, so Amos has a good deal of food to eat. At school Amos has two best friends - Alvin and Anthony, but Amos, Alvin and Anthony (the three A’s) are constantly bullied by the prefect of the school (who by the way is called Michael), later in the book Michael has a leg fracture and doesn’t have any money for the operation, so Amos collects a $100 and gives it to Michael. Amos also likes to go to different places with his grandpa and grandma ( ah Kong and Po-Po). Amos Lee is quite the 2nd best diary I have read. If you liked Diary of a Wimpy Kid than you’ll like this book as well. There are differences though: I think this is not so much a diary, it's just stating the events that happened to you, whereas in Dairy of a Wimpy Kid, there are more details about every fact that happened to the main character during the day. Plus, it's not so funny, it's just that the food bits tempt you a lot. I especially like the food parts in this one 'cause they look tasty and if you can’t understand the food you can look up their meanings in the glossary. I think I am going to review the whole series of Diary of Amos Lee. I'd give the book a 2 star rating if I had to.

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid- Do-It-Yourself (D.I.Y) book by Jeff Kinney
Greg, the wimpy kid is back! But this time in the D.I.Y book. You can make your own wimpy kid comics, games, baddest things you've done and future telling etc, but I make one thing very clear -- this is not a diary, it's only this fun journal you own. This book also contains Greg and Rowley's comics, you also have some place to write your own thoughts, try out your autographs, your room requirements, your family drawing space and many more weird things to write about. Don't you want to draw and write about your house? This is the ultimate diary for wimps. This is the diary that's actually cool, that you can write in! I mean, who wants to write a diary like a girl, right? It's bad enough that you're a wimp! Is your mother nagging you to keep a diary? (Some mothers do!). Get this diary, this the best diary of the wimpy kid book series. It's not a lame diary, it's a cool journal.

Diary of a wimpy kid by Jeff Kinney
I just wanted to inform you guys of one thing that by 'diary' I do not mean a diary, it’s just the title, I really mean a journal. This book is about a boy called Greg Heffley stuck in middle school with a bunch of kids like him who haven’t hit their growth spurt yet mixed in with these gorillas who need to shave twice a day. So getting to the point Greg keeps this journal where he writes his everyday experiences, like for instant he says about his first day of school where he says he just comes to the class and sits on some old desk and the next minute you know the teachers saying “I hope you like where you are sitting because these are going to be your permanent places” and you realize you just sat in the middle of a bunch of morons. Just like that Greg says stories about his best friend Rowley and about the nasty cheese that sits in the middle of the basketball court and gives the cheese touch to whoever touches it, he also tells about his dad, his mom, his brothers and irritating neighbour Fregley . My favourite parts are the ones where he gets chased by a gang of teenagers on Halloween night; he even tells about his wrestling unit in school and school play. But the last part is when your heart starts beating when Rowley betrays Greg and steals his ideas and the worst part is when Rowley eats the nasty old______ (it’s gross, I’ll leave it at that). I think this is one of my favourite books, till Christmas - I didn’t even know such a good book existed (Santa put it under my pillow wrapped in a red ribbon). If you are going for a normal, funny book go for this one.
