Like Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Dear Next Great Book,
Hi, my name is Drew.  I would like a book like Diary of a Wimpy Kid.  Thanks - 
Searching for My Next Great Book


Dear Searching,
Many of us loved Diary of a Wimpy Kid too.  It seems like you might like funny and that you like at least part of the book to be graphic.  We think we have some good ideas for you.

  • Nana Cracks the Case (This is a great book.  It is hilarious. It is a mystery.  And it has some of the funny graphics we think you like!)
  • Middle School the Worst Years of My Life (Those of us who have started this book could not put it down... it is a page turned and just like "Wimpy Kid" it is full of funny things that happen in middle school.) 
  • Charlie Joe Jackson's Guide to Not Reading (We have not read this book - we just ordered it.  However, everyone who has read it has told us it is hilarious - the story of a kid who HATES reading more than anyone or anything.  It looks great - we think you might find it a fun read.)
  • My Life As a Book and My Life As a Stuntboy (So many of us have read these and LOVE them!  Both are funny and filled with mystery and about interesting characters.  Plus, each interesting vocabulary word is illustrated on the side of the story.  They are both great and we think you might even want to start with them - those of us who loved "Wimpy Kid" loved these!)
We hope you love one or all of these books.  Please let us know!
Happy Reading,
Next Great Book
