Being a kid can really stink. And no one knows this better than Greg. He finds himself thrust into middle school, where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving. Greg is happy to have Rowley Jefferson, his sidekick, along for the ride. But when Rowley's star starts to rise, Greg tries to use his best friend's newfound popularity to his own advantage, kicking off a chain of events that will test their friendship in hilarious fashion. The hazards of growing up before you're ready are uniquely revealed through words and drawings as Greg records them in his diary. But as Greg says: “Just don’t expect me to be all “Dear Diary” this and “Dear Diary” that.” Luckily for us, what Greg Heffley says he won’t do and what he actually does are two very different things.

Jeff Kinney is an American author, cartoonist, and game designer whose career has been shaped by a long-standing interest in comics, humor, and visual storytelling. Born in 1971 in Maryland, he grew up drawing cartoons and developing comic strips, initially aspiring to work as a newspaper cartoonist. His early creative efforts were influenced by everyday school life, social hierarchies, and the small-scale frustrations of childhood. Kinney studied computer science at the University of Maryland, where he continued to develop comic projects alongside his technical work. After college, he pursued a range of creative and digital ventures, combining writing, illustration, and online media while refining his narrative voice. Over time, Kinney established himself as a full-time creator, balancing writing and illustration with broader involvement in publishing and media projects. He has remained closely connected to the practical side of storytelling, from format decisions to distribution, and has played an active role in shaping how his work is presented to readers. Kinney lives in New England, where he continues to work as an author and illustrator. In addition to his creative output, he has been involved in initiatives supporting literacy and independent bookstores, reflecting an ongoing engagement with reading culture beyond his own publications.
