The title of the book I am reading is The Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney. The main character in the book is Greg Heffly. There are other important characters in the book such as Greg’s older brother, Rodrick, his younger brother, Manny, his mother and father, and his best friend, Rowley. The main problem in the book is that Greg wants to be the most popular kid in his school, but he is actually one of the most unpopular kids in his school. The settings in the book include Greg’s house, his school and his best friend Rowley’s house.

The plot is that Greg is trying to be popular, but every time he gets close to being popular something goes wrong. An important event in this book is when he chooses his best friend, Rowley, over being popular. Another important event in this story is when Greg is forced to make a big decision when he has to decide whether to help his best friend who is having a hard time or lose the popularity he gains. Greg decided his best friend was more important than popularity. Greg also has a lot of problems with his family. For example, his little brother is always breaking his stuff.

I liked this book because it was about Gregory’s friendship with Rowley and because it was about things that could actually happen; also he’s about my age.  I would recommend this book because it is an easy read and a good story. I would give this book four stars because it is a great book but they aren’t very descriptive about the characters.
