Diary Of A Wimpy Kid

Based on the best-selling illustrated novel by Jeff Kinney, "Diary Of A Wimpy Kid" chronicles the adventures of wisecracking pre-teen Greg Heffley, who must somehow survive the scariest time of anyone's life...middle school. Convinced it's the "dumbest idea ever invented," Heffley considers junior high school a place rigged with hundreds of social landmines, not the least of which are wedgies, swirlies, bullies, lunchtime banishment of the cafeteria floor, and a festering piece of cheese with nuclear cooties that he must overcome to become popular. His diary—or "journal"—chronicles his thoughts, tales of family trials and tribulations, and (would be) schoolyard triumphs. (Gary Reber)
