Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules

Kinney, Jeff. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules. NY: Amulet Books, 2008. 217 pages. (Graphic Novel / Humor)

Greg is back with a whole new set of problems: the party, the science fair project, but most of all, Rodrick, Greg’s older brother, knows Greg’s most embarrassing secret from over the summer. Since Rodrick knows Greg’s secret, he is not afraid to hold it over his head. Manny, Greg’s younger brother, being the perfect little angel he is, gets away with everything he does and gets everything he wants. Read the book to find out how Greg survives yet another year.

Like the first book, this one is written in cartoons. I thought that this book was excellent and very funny because nothing ever works out for Greg. Something is always happening and there are no boring parts. I would highly recommend this book. It is a great book, and it’s fun to read because Greg never gets out of trouble, just into more.
