Teaches your kid how to bully their 'friends' and makes it seem like ok behavior...
This book is AWFUL...it teaches your kid how to bully their 'friends' and plays it off as just funny antics and does not explain it's actually bullying. No wonder kids treat their classmates/friends so badly in school with popular books like these out there! This was an immediate return. The Awesome Friendly 'Adventure' and 'Spooky Stories' books were MUCH better. My 5 year olds favorite is the Adventure book.

You will not be the same after you read this book
Jeff Kinney's Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid is one of the most gripping and terrifying psychological thrillers that I've ever read. In this novel, we enter the mind of middle-schooler Rowley Jefferson, as he is mentally tortured by his (supposedly) best friend Greg Heffley. Greg constantly abuses Rowley - he leaves him out in the woods, steals his possessions, and gets him into trouble, but Rowley sees these as just "hilarious pranks". Rowley is surprisingly innocent and naive for his age, which makes him a perfect target for a sociopath such as Greg. Rowley seems to be desperate for a "best friend" in order to survive the harshness of middle school, but Greg only seems to stick up for him out of obligation. Rowley is definitely not a one-note character, though. Although he is mostly oblivious to Greg's malicious intents, there is one incident that particularly stuck out. One time, when Greg told Rowley that a burgular was approaching the house, Rowley smacked the "burgular" in the face with a tennis racket as a means of self-defense - however, the "burgular" was really Greg playing a prank. In this diary, Rowley writes that he regrets hitting Greg with a tennis racket... only to write "but not really" in incredibly small text. This proves that Rowley is subconsciously aware of Greg's sociopatic nature, but he refuses to accept it due to him desperately wanting a friend. Overall, a very harrowing and mentally-challenging read, recommended for any interested Diary of a Wimpy Kid connoisseur.

my kid loved it!
My child has read all of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books and was excited to start a new series by the same author. They were so excited when I showed them the new book. They immediately sat down and began reading it. Now we are just waiting for the release of the next book in this series and the next new book of the Diary of a Wimpy kid series as well.

Do not recommend..returned
I cannot believe these reviews. Bought because of reviews and thank God i read it first.
This is about a kid who gets bullied by his friend...this is not a good example for a child to read. Just because kids "like" it doesn't mean it's not giving them a bad impression of the world and what a healthy relationship and friendship is. If it's marketed to kids, they will usually be open to it. It's up to adults, who should be wiser, to screen this. I don't know about the other books in this series but I just don't think this is appropriate or healthy. Don't complain about mood issues when this is what the kids are reading. I would prefer something inspirational.

Another great book by Kinney
We gave this book as an Easter gift to our 9 year old son. He has read the entire Diary of a Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney. He was so happy to have a book about Rowley and began reading it immediately. We’re always waiting for the next Jeff Kinney release!
