Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules by Jeff Kinney

This is the second installment of Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Yes, this book is extremely juvenile... but every single one of my kids LOVE these books. Although it is mostly in cartoon/comic style, it still is at the fifth grade level, which most graphic novels are not. In the book Greg humorously tells about his problems at home and school, most of which involve his older brother, Rodrick. Other scenes in the book include Greg suffering on the swim team, his obligation to help out with the talent show as an assistant to a first grader, accidently going into the woman's bathroom, his failure at trying to cheat in school, and trying to pull on over on his mother's Mom's Bucks program. There are 3 more books in this series and eventually I will get around to reading those too. Apparently the movie for this book came out last week, and now my students are asking if we can all go together to see it.... Well, that's just doubtful, haha.
