Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid: Rowley Jefferson's Journal by Jeff Kinney

Greg Heffley's Best Friend Finally Gets His Own Story — And It's Hilarious.

You know Greg Heffley. But do you know Rowley Jefferson? Greg's loyal, cheerful, and wonderfully oblivious best friend has always been the sidekick — until now. In this laugh-out-loud spin-off from the beloved Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, Rowley gets to tell his own story in his own words. And it turns out, life looks very different from Rowley's point of view.

Rowley is writing a biography of his best friend Greg — because he's pretty sure Greg is going to be famous one day. But as Rowley tells it, the adventures, mishaps, and everyday chaos of middle school life are even funnier than you remember. Packed with Rowley's own drawings, jokes, and wonderfully innocent observations, this is the book that fans of the series have been waiting for.
