 Have you been a keen follower of the hilarious and sometimes disastrous adventures of Greg Heffley, an awkward teenager desperate to fit in at school and appear cool! Now you can join in as he finds new ways of amusing himself, often at the expense of his best friend Rowley, by owning the Diary of a Wimpy Kid set. Spend endless hours entertained by these fascinating novels in cartoon: Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Rodrick Rules, The Last Straw, Dog Days, and even the Do It Yourself Book.


We meet Greg Heffley in Diary of a Wimpy Kid, a skinny, video game obsessed teenager whose sense of right and wrong is more than a little skewered. In Rodrick Rules, Greg’s summer misery is worsened when elder brother Rodrick learns about his little brother’s diary. The Last Straw sees Greg’s dad threatening to send him off to military school if he doesn’t change his wimpy ways and enlist in more manly endeavours. In Dog Days , Greg’s mom strives to fulfil her vision of “family togetherness” over the summer holiday and a new addition to the Heffley family leaves Greg out of sorts. And finally the Do It Yourself Book, allows you, the fan, to create your own stories and sketches.

But Wait, There’s More…

What could be better than watching one of the world’s most loved and funniest cartoon character come to life on the big screen? At long last The Wimpy Kid Movie Diary has arrived, and it is the perfect companion to the phenomenally bestselling series. Now you can go behind the scenes of the movie, and see how Greg Heffley’s world was transformed from the writings in a diary to a fully fledged movie. The diary is filled with photographs, script pages, storyboard sketches, costume designs, and fantastic original Wimpy Kid drawings to keep you giggling well after your bedtime.
