Jeff Kinney

Celebrating 85 years of unleashing imagination

A gorgeous clothbound edition of the beloved modern classic, Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Bound in real cloth with two colored foils and colored borders, this deluxe edition makes an ideal gift or collector's item. Part of an eight-book set published to mark Puffin Books' 85th anniversary. With a brand-new introduction by Dapo Adeola. 'Let me make something clear: this is a journal, not a diary... The other thing I want to make clear right away is that this was my mother's idea, not mine.' Things aren't going well for Greg Heffley. He's been thrust into a new school where the short, wiry kids share the hallways with taller, meaner kids who are already flying. Along with his friend Rowley, Greg is desperate to prove his newfound maturity, which can only be achieved by climbing the grade. But as Rowley's star begins to rise, will Greg be able to reach the same level of popularity as his best friend?
