A DIARY OF A WIMPY KID STORY that will have you rolling with laughter, from number one bestselling author Jeff Kinney!
Hi my name is Rowley Jefferson and this is my book. Now I have a diary just like my friend Greg…
Rowley’s best friend Greg Heffley has chronicled his middle-school years in thirteen Diary of a Wimpy Kid journals. Now it’s Rowley’s turn to give his side of the story.
But Rowley has agreed to tell Greg’s story along the way, too. (After all, Greg says one day he will be rich and famous and the world will need to know how he managed it).
But Rowley’s stories about Greg might not be quite what his friend had in mind . . .
The opening of Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid was originally published as the NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING World Book Day 2019 title – Diary of Greg Heffley’s Best Friend.
Praise for Jeff Kinney:
‘The books contain meaty themes to do with family and friendship […] more please’. The Telegraph

‘Kinney is right up there with J K Rowling as one of the bestselling children’s authors on the planet’ – Independent
‘The world has gone crazy for Jeff Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid’ – Sun

This book is very unique as it opens up a new perspective to look through. I’m not actually sure what to say about this book but I can assure you that its very good. My favourite character was Rowley himself as he is very innocent and pure of heart. I would recommend this book to someone else.

This book kickstarts the 3-book spin-off series of diary of a wimpy kid. This book takes the perspective of Greg Heffley’s best friend, Rowley Jefferson. Though I cant say much about this book as it is just events taken through Rowley’s perspective, that is also the reason why this book is unique. So overall, this book was good because it lets you see through a new perspective. My favorite character was definitely Rowley himself, because he is very pure-hearted and innocent. I would also recommend this book to someone else.

It was funny when Greg kept saying that Rowley had a crush on Mrs Beck.

I absolutely loved this book. It wasn't at all what I thought it would be like. It portrays his best friend Greg and their friendship in a completely unexpected way. It has been written articulately and uses great humour. The illustrations are also hilarious.

Its was a really good book even though Greg manipulated Rowley most of the time but in conclusion I found it very funny and entertaining

It was interesting learning about other people's views i.e Rowleys and showing that friends can be annoying to each other! A definite 5 star rating. If you love laughter I would recommend this book series.

Mostly about GREG but there is some Rowley
Lady Blossom Tinkle 10.03.2025
It was fiction and It was about Rowely [Greg's best friend]. What I liked it was funny just like the Diary of a Wimpy kid Series and what Rowely did. I would recommend this to people who love and read Diary of a wimpy kid series. Its just like that!
