Perfect for Reluctant Readers and Children of All Ages

Recenserad i USA 🇺🇸 den 6 januari 2019

In 2007, the first volume in a series of children’s books was published. It exploded onto the elementary school scene and got America’s school children reading again. As new books appeared in subsequent years, children snapped them up and devoured them. To them, it was the literary event of the year.

No, this book series was not Harry Potter (published 1997-2007). This new series followed the misadventures of lazy unprincipled undisciplined middle school miscreant Greg Heffley. And school children everywhere ate them up. While the buzz over these books eventually died down, they are every bit as good as when they were first released, and each new addition to the series remains hilarious. If your child is a reluctant reader and/or 8 - 10 years old, definitely get him or her started on the first book! (While the protagonist is a boy, my children are both girls. In my experience with my own and other children, both genders love these books.)

As the title “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” implies, the books are written from Greg’s point of view. Hand drawn pictures abound on every page. The text is so clever that children, adolescents, and adults can all appreciate it. When a new book is released, there is a gentle fight at our house over who gets to read it first. There is one illustration in the first book that was so hilarious that I laughed till I cried. (I won’t spoil it for you with details.) My younger daughter still talks about how Greg’s idiot older brother misspelled the family dog’s name on his personalized dog dish: Sweaty.

Just like with Harry Potter, I recommend that you read the books in order, although each book can certainly stand alone. As I write in early 2019, here are the books currently in the series:

Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2007)
Rodrick Rules (2008)
The Last Straw (2009)
Dog Days (2009)
The Ugly Truth (2010)
Cabin Fever (2011)
The Third Wheel (2012)
Hard Luck (2013)
The Long Haul (2014)
Old School (2015)
Double Down (2016)
The Getaway (2017)
The Meltdown (2018)

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to reread the books. I can always use a good laugh!

Great book (and series) for boys who avoid reading

My son has a love/hate relationship with reading. He is required to read half an hour a day for school and some days it's like wrestling a slick pig to get him to open a book. I am always trying to find books that he will choose to read on his own. My only bad comment about this series is that they don't come out fast enough! When he opened the Amazon package (the purchase was a surprise), I was in the other room, but I could hear how excited and happy he was to get it. By the time I got from the kitchen to the living room, he was already sitting on the couch with his head buried in it, and that is where he stayed for the rest of the evening. No whining to watch tv or play video games, no complaining about doing his homework, just happy reading. I even had to take it away from him to keep him from reading it after he was supposed to have gone to bed.

I've seen some complaints from parents about topic choices in this book. I know that as the series moves on there are some themes that are more adult, but I think that's pretty common with longer series that start out geared toward the 8 to 10 year old reader. As the kids who started with these books get older, the topics the books cover get more mature. The author knows he has to do that to retain his original audience, just as J.K. Rowling had Harry Potter mature for her audience. In our house it's our job to make the decision about when our kids are ready to read about certain topics, not the author's. If we had thought the parts about puberty were too mature for him, we would have waited to give him the book, not complain about the author's decision to write them. Personally I suspect that what's in the book is a lot milder than what my son hears from his 5th grade classmates.

I recommend this book and this series to parents who are struggling to get their boys to read. You may find that your son can identify with these characters, and that he will stay engaged with the story more easily because he does. It's a beautiful thing to match a reluctant reader to the right book.

Deberían tener mas libros a precios más baratos del mismo autor y en inglés para que estimulemos a los niños a hablar el idioma.

As with all the books in the series, The Ugly Truth is told through the eyes of middle-schooler Greg Heffley. As with the previous books in the series, The Ugly Truth, does not disappoint in the laugh-out-loud, goofy antics and situations with which Greg constantly finds himself. Greg, the author of the diary (or journal as he prefers to call it), explains the frustrations of adolescence through his writings and illustrations. With the diary style of writing, Greg's stories are to the point with crisp, clear storytelling. The handwriting style font, to simulate Greg's writing in a diary, adds authenticity to the book. The cartoon illustrations not only clarify the story but add to its hilarity as well. Finally, Kinney's choice to have Greg tell his stories via diary, offers Greg with a way to cope with his awkward experiences.

In The Ugly Truth, Greg doesn't disappoint his readers as he leads us through growing up - the good, the bad, and the ugly of it. Continuing from the fourth book, The Ugly Truth begins with the destroyed friendship between Greg and his best friend Rowley. Throughout the book, Greg struggles with trying to come to terms with Rowley, never wanting to swallow his pride and admit just how much Rowley means to him. As he is fretting over his doomed friendship and contemplating why Rowley won't come crawling back, he leads the reader through various life experiences. Greg's narcissistic, something for nothing attitude causes things to not quite work out the way he expects. Greg is involved in one mishap after another in this comical tale of growing up.

This is a good children's literature book because the stories and illustrations are humorous, witty, simple, and interesting. Greg represents an average child facing realistic situations but with unrealistic expectations. He humorously and candidly faces topics that many adolescents deal with on a daily basis. The simplicity of the stories, the relatable storylines, and the humor with which they're told allow children to feel comfortable about growing - and lets them know they're not alone.
