Diary of a Wimpy Kid

a novel by Jeff Kinney
Greg Heffley did not ask for a journal — and do NOT call it a diary. But between the Cheese Touch, a haunted basement, a wrestling unit, one catastrophic school play, a broken hand that makes the wrong boy famous, and a comic strip called Zoo-Wee-Mama, his first year of middle school turns into the funniest confession ever taped shut. Jeff Kinney’s worldwide phenomenon (2007) hides a sharp little question inside every joke: what is the difference between being liked and being important — and which one is Greg actually chasing? These 8 Part workbooks cover the full novel (a school year of diary entries, September–June), each with vocabulary, comprehension, literary analysis, Think Deeper reasoning, an SAT®/TOEFL®-style test, and writing, all built on real-world CLIL background.
