The first book in the series, What Happened to Greg?

In "A Wimpy Kid ① School Diary," middle school boy Greg begins writing a diary in preparation for when he becomes rich and famous.
Even though I'm stuck in a middle school with gorillas who probably have to shave twice a day now.
Greg's biggest goal this year is to be popular at school.
So Greg goes all out: he runs for student elections, learns wrestling, acts in plays, joins the school safety patrol, and writes a comic strip for the school newspaper.
Will Greg ever become the "popular kid" he so desperately desires? Will he be able to survive the harsh realities of middle school?

What is the identity of the charm that has captivated the world?
A diary of a friend just like me, that seems to be out there somewhere!

Greg's story is very similar to that of our adolescent children: beaten by his siblings, misunderstood by his parents, desperate to be popular at school, and unintentionally causing trouble because of his wild imagination.
As children read vivid anecdotes that seem to have been written by an ordinary middle school student, they find themselves empathizing with the main character.
It deals with the topics that most interest and worry adolescents, such as friends, family, unrequited love, and school life, so it is even more relatable.
Hidden within the heartwarming fun that will have you rolling on the floor, lies a warm comfort for teenagers.

A new and original book you've never seen before!

This is not a comic that pursues only simple and superficial fun, nor does it contain artificial teachings.
It is not a common fairy tale with partial illustrations.
[A Wimpy Kid] is a unique book format that is mainly written in text, like an actual picture diary, but also expresses the main character's inner thoughts and key scenes in the form of comics.
With its easy, accessible format, this book captivates not only young children unfamiliar with letters but also adults who don't enjoy reading.
It has been praised by the world-renowned book review media outlets Kirkus Reviews and School Library Journal for leading even children who hate reading into the world of literature.

A book that will make you love reading and writing!

How many children write not because it's homework, but because it's fun? How valuable would it be if they could look back on their past through the writings they wrote as children? While we all know its importance, writing can be a burden for our children, who are burdened by the burden of schoolwork.
But through the Wimpy Kid series of diaries that are so fun they can't stop reading, children will naturally think, "Greg keeps a diary, so why not try it too?"
This book will be your first step toward honest and vibrant writing, and a stepping stone to reading and writing.

A book that adults should read too!

This book, filled with humor that resonates with readers of all ages, will make even adults laugh as they recall the small, everyday moments of failure and success, defeat and triumph, they experienced as children.
It also provides parents, who are always willing to give advice to their children but have not yet been able to understand their children's thoughts, with an opportunity to understand the psychology of adolescent children.
It's a book that children will beg to read first, but it's also a fun book to read from an adult's perspective, and it's a book that will serve as a bridge between generations.
