What's Greg Up To Now?

It's November! Do you know what that means? The wait is almost over. The 5th Diary of a Wimpy Kid book by Jeff Kinney is almost available! It's going to be released on Tuesday, November 9th. We already have an entry for it in our catalog, so be sure to put your copy on hold and find out what Greg Heffley's up to now.

What is it about these books? Do kids love them because of their informal, journal-like quality? Do they like the cartoons? Whatever draws kids' attention, the books are a hit.
