"Comic genius celebrated in handsome new edition."
As part of the celebrations for their 85th anniversary, Puffin Books are reissuing eight classic children's books in handsome clothbound editions, with colourful sprayed edges and matching ribbons. They look special, very collectable and child friendly too.
Amongst the eight books is Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney and how could it not be? It’s hard to think of another book character or series that has brought so much pleasure to so many young readers.
As Dapo Adeola points out in his special foreword, each of protagonist Greg Heffley’s journal entries (he insists it isn’t a diary, despite the title) ‘unfolds into an unexpected adventure, close escape or embarrassing but completely hilarious encounter’.
Add his illustrations, brilliantly simple, extraordinarily expressive, and it’s no wonder that these stories are so very popular. Reading this irresistible definitely deserves classic status.

Celebrating 85 years of Sparking Imaginations
A beautiful clothbound edition of the much-loved modern classic Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Bound in real cloth with two coloured foils and sprayed coloured edges, this deluxe edition is a perfect gift or collector's item. Part of an eight book set published to mark the 85th anniversary of Puffin Books. With a brand-new foreword from Dapo Adeola.
'Let me get something straight: this is a JOURNAL not a diary... The other thing I want to clear up right away is that this was MOM's idea, not mine.'
Things aren't going well for Greg Heffley.
He's been thrust into a new school where undersize weaklings share the corridors with kids who are taller, meaner and already shaving.
Along with his friend Rowley, Greg's desperate to prove his new maturity, which only going up a grade can bring. But when Rowley's star starts to rise, will Greg be able to reach the same heights of popularity as his best friend?
