"Diary of a Wimpy Kid" chosen by Caleb

Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney is about a kid that goes through middle school and his mom wanted him to write his feelings. He told her not to get a book that said diary.  I recommend it because it is funny, and it is a book thet could help you raed better and have fun.
