Get ready for a whole new look into Jeff Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid! Introducing the newest Wimpy Kid author–Rowley Jefferson! Rowley’s best friend Greg Heffley has been chronicling his middle-school years in thirteen Diary of a Wimpy Kid journals . . . and counting. But it’s finally time for readers to hear directly from Rowley in a journal of his own. In Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid, … Friendly Kid, Rowley writes about his experiences and agrees to play the role of biographer for Greg along the way. (After all, one day Greg will be rich and famous, and everyone will want to know his life’s story.) But Rowley is a poor choice for the job, and his “biography” of Greg is a hilarious mess. Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid: Rowley Jefferson’s Journal offers readers a new way to look at the Wimpy world–one fans won’t want to miss!

It’s not often that I laugh out loud when reading a kid’s book. The author must have been quite the rascal as a child or knew a lot of kids who were. What’s different about this book is that it’s told from Rowley’s point of view, i.e., Greg Heffley’s best friend, instead of hearing the escapades from Greg himself as in much of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. This book has so many funny stories even reluctant readers will love it. Rowley vacillates between writing an autobiography about his own life and a biography about Greg’s life. As usual, Greg tries to control the situation, makes a lot of demands and rules, so Rowley reverts to writing about himself. The problem is Greg is such a huge part of Rowley’s life, it’s impossible to keep Greg out of his autobiography. All the fun, adventures, and mishaps come as a result of Greg’s overbearing, domineering, manipulating personality. Rowley’s parents don’t find Greg’s shenanigans amusing, “We do not like Greg.” So why is Rowley even friends with Greg? Because without Greg, Rowley’s life would be b-o-r-i-n-g and nobody wants that!
To give an idea of some of the pranks Rowley is subjected to: During a sleepover Rowley can’t leave the bedroom to use the bathroom and he can’t hear the music blasting on Greg’s side of the room because there’s an invisible force field across Greg’s bedroom. Gullible Rowley believes this. Rowley is told he must pay to use water to brush his teeth and for electricity when in Greg’s room. Rowley is promised a load of leftover Halloween candy if he helps Greg with his front and backyard chores. Rowley is disappointed to find the huge bag is actually filled with empty wrappers and winds up with a measly amount to enjoy. Rowley is scammed again when he agrees to trade his beloved knight action figure for 99 cents. Greg makes Rowley smell his dirty socks, explaining that the deal was for 99 scents. Then Rowley’s beloved knight action figure disappears down Greg’s toilet. Rowley is stuck sitting at Greg’s kitchen table unable to move because Greg performs a magic trick by placing a glass of milk on Rowley’s outstretched hands, then walks out of the room, leaving Rowley no way to remove the glass because doing so would make the milk spill and the glass break. He’s finally saved when Greg’s mom walks into the room. Rowley is forced to make a secret code with Greg so Greg can cheat on a Math test. You get the idea.
This gives you a sampling of the funny scenes in the book with Rowley’s strings being pulled by the great manipulator Greg. Rowley is a willing participant so it doesn’t seem as if he’s a victim. Rowley often expresses his anger to Greg. He often is able to turn the tables and get Greg back. Rowley complains to Greg’s parents who chastise him for his bad behavior. Rowley’s parents make their disapproval known. It is clear that Greg’s behavior is not the right way to act, but without this nonsensical push and pull there would not be such a funny story. The pranks are harmless and silly.

I LOVE DIARY OF A WIMPY KID. AND WHEN THIS CAME OUT AMAZON HERE I COME.!
This is book is pretty good. The thing I like about this book is that it’s really funny, and that’s because it has lots of different things but also are really funny things like Greg’s diaries. Another thing I like about this book is that it’s “original”, and that’s because I thought it would be actually pretty similar since it’s the same author and it’s still a diary, but no. It actually was very original, the author put in a lot of detail to change how Rowley writes and draw. This book is also really easy-to-read because this book is made for kids like me. The finale one is that its entertaining, it has lots of pages that just changes the whole entertainment from each picture and saying. This book is amazing and I recommend it so much so go and read it!
