    Jeff Kinney expertly portrays a 12-year-old’s mindset in this comedy book. The book is able to balance the fun diary entry format and the storyline that takes place during the course of it. What I have always loved about this book is that it doesn’t talk down to the reader. Many kids can probably relate to Greg and the issues he faces. A timeless story about middle school hijinks and the struggle of trying to seem as cool as possible at that age.
