Diary of a Wimpy Kid (Book 1)

Celebrating 85 years of Sparking Imaginations

A beautiful clothbound edition of the much-loved modern classic Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Bound in real cloth with two coloured foils and sprayed coloured edges, this deluxe edition is a perfect gift or collector’s item. Part of an eight book set published to mark the 85^th anniversary of Puffin Books. With a brand-new foreword from Dapo Adeola.

'Let me get something straight: this is a JOURNAL not a diary... The other thing I want to clear up right away is that this was MOM's idea, not mine.'

Things aren't going well for Greg Heffley.

He's been thrust into a new school where undersize weaklings share the corridors with kids who are taller, meaner and already shaving.

Along with his friend Rowley, Greg's desperate to prove his new maturity, which only going up a grade can bring. But when Rowley's star starts to rise, will Greg be able to reach the same heights of popularity as his best friend?
