El primer libro del diario más tronchante y desternillante, Diario de Greg. Un auténtico fenómeno mundial.
Ser casi adolescente puede ser un fastidio. Nadie lo sabe mejor que Greg Heffley, inmerso en el duro ambiente del instituto, donde los chicos bajitos que aún no han pegado el estirón tienen que compartir los pasillos con grandullones que ya se afeitan dos veces al día.
«En primer lugar, quiero dejar una cosa bien clara: esto no es un diario. Ya sé lo que pone en la portada. Mira que cuando Mamá lo fue a comprar le pedí DE MANERA ESPECÍFICA que si compraba una libreta no tuviera el rotulito de diario».
Greg Heffley tiene 12 años y su madre le compra un diario que abarcará un curso escolar: de septiembre a junio. Conoceremos a Greg a través de las hilarantes y enternecedoras desventuras que narra e ilustra en su libreta. Estamos ante un retratocómico de la vida, la voz y las costumbres de los niños preadolescentes. Este debut hará a todo el mundo troncharse de risa.
