Kinney, Jeff. (2007). Diary of a wimpy kid. New York: Amulet Books.

This fun, humorous book is about Greg Heffley who is starting middle school. Greg is a small, skinny boy in the midst of bigger, stronger middle schoolers. Greg and his friend, Rowley, approach middle school together and nervously. However, Rowley becomes popular, which Greg hopes to use to his advantage. Readers laugh along with Greg as he struggles with popularity, friendship, and middle school.
I thought this book would be great to use to teach diary writing, and the students could keep their own diary.
The language and set up of this book s very kid friendly and relatable. It is also in diary format.
