Diary of a wimpy kid is a series of book based on a middle school boys life and his interactions at school and home. Greg has an older brother Rodrick and they are constantly fighting. His mother is always trying to get them to get along. Greg encounters a series of problems in middle school. He has to deal with homework, his dad forcing him to join the swim team, and bullies. The pictures in the books are usually black and white and resemble comics.
Kids love reading these types of books because they can relate to Greg. He has to deal with many issues that most kids deal with. They also love the books for the comic part even if they are not that interested in reading them.
I know that almost all kids love this series! They can all find something to relate to in the books, even kids who don"t usually like reading will pick these books up.
