  • Publisher's Weekly

    Starred review from March 5, 2007
    Kinney's popular Web comic, which began in 2004, makes its way to print as a laugh-out-loud "novel in cartoons," adapted from the series. Middle school student Greg Heffley takes readers through an academic year's worth of drama. Greg's mother forces him to keep a diary ("I know what it says on the cover, but when Mom went out to buy this thing I specifically
    told her to get one that didn't say 'diary' on it"), and in it he loosely recounts each day's events, interspersed with his comic illustrations. Kinney has a gift for believable preteen dialogue and narration (e.g., "Don't expect me to be all 'Dear Diary' this and 'Dear Diary' that"), and the illustrations serve as a hilarious counterpoint to Greg's often deadpan voice. The hero's utter obliviousness to his friends and family becomes a running joke. For instance, on Halloween, Greg and his best friend, Rowley, take refuge from some high school boys at Greg's grandmother's house; they taunt the bullies, who then T.P. her house. Greg's journal entry reads, "I do feel a little bad, because it looked like it was gonna take a long time to clean up. But on the bright side, Gramma is retired, so she probably didn't have anything planned for today anyway." Kinney ably skewers familiar aspects of junior high life, from dealing with the mysteries of what makes someone popular to the trauma of a "wrestling unit" in gym class. His print debut should keep readers in stitches, eagerly anticipating Greg's further adventures. Ages 8-13.

    The Wimpy Kid returns for his 17th volume. Greg's older brother, Rodrick, has longed to become a rock superstar, and his band, L�ded Diper, is starting to generate some heat. At least, that's what Rodrick thinks. Greg is a bit more skeptical about L�ded Diper's looming success but is just interested enough to catalog the band's efforts to gain enough notoriety to win the Battle of the Bands as Metallichihuahua, Rodrick's idols, did when they were starting out. Setbacks abound, including late nights, a swindling night club owner, band infighting, and financial struggles, accompanied by an endless parade of diaper jokes and toilet humor. The book will be fine enough for die-hard Wimpy Kid readers, but even the biggest fans of the Heffley clan will find this one doesn't live up to previous series high points. Rodrick has long been the weakest character in the Wimpy Kid canon, a one-dimensional lout who was never developed as well as the other Heffleys or even some tertiary characters. This book is squarely placed upon Rodrick's shoulders, and there just isn't enough there for him to make it pop. The rambling series of misfortunes becomes cumbersome after a while. The book is a swing for the long-running series--an attempt to center a long-neglected character--but unfortunately the effort strikes out. A commendable effort that nevertheless misses the mark. (Graphic/fiction hybrid. 8-12)
