My series book is Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney. So far I am loving this book! I read half of the book in one sitting, that’s how entertaining it is. I think this series would be great for any young boy or girl in late elementary/middle school to read. The main character is a boy in middle school who clearly defines all the problems in his life in hysterical ways. I think young boys would relate to this book and therefore love to read more of it. I also love how this book is almost in comic book format. He draws pictures almost on every page to show what he is talking about, and they are very captivating. In a classroom, I would love to start a book club with this book and have the students share their experiences with it.
