Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Getaway
By JEFF KINNEY
Christmas is almost here and the Heffley family is way behind on all things Christmas and they want to get away. Even though Greg thinks it's not a good idea as he is perfectly happy staying indoors by the fireplace all through Christmas break, his family decides to go to Isla de Corales for the Christmas and be away from the excruciating cold. They are all packed and they leave for the airport but without taking in consideration all the traffic they will get. They make it to the airport and hit snag after snag. After lots of bumps, they make it to Isla de Corales and instantly they feel better as the hot air hits them. But family holidays aren't family holidays until there is a lot of bickering and that's exactly what ensues. Greg's mother wants the family to spend time together but Greg's dad wants to do his own thing and Rowley wants to do his own thing too. Greg is looking to do lots of cool activities so that he can finally show Rowley that he had stellar time on his getaway. Let's just say that short of getting thrown in jail, the Heffley family gets in all sorts of trouble. I don't know what it is about the Heffely family holidays that they remind me so much of my family holidays. From not leaving for the airport in enough time to end up sitting on the plane in the middle of a different family to getting lost at the resort to birds eating our lunch to not be able to get a single decent family photo are all so relatable and not to mention hilarious. I loved this. 5 stars
Cat Kid Comic Club: From the Creator of Dog Man
By Pilkey, Dav, Pilkey, Dav
This book is beautiful. A great side story to the dog man universe, it shows what its like behind the scenes. It captures the same essence as a normal dog man book, but it feels different too. You get to see what children's imagination can lead them up to.
The Misadventures of Max Crumbly 2: Middle School Mayhem
By Rachel Renée Russell
I really enjoyed this book because there was a lot of drama, my favorite parts were when Max was wearing Ellie's snow costume and when they tied up the robbers together. It really scared me when Ellie's parents walked in on her own the call and almost grounded her. This was a really good book and I would recommend it if you like Dork Diaries.
Old School (Diary of a Wimpy Kid)
By Jeff Kinney
It was very enjoyable to read Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Old School which is a comical and humorous novel. Throughout the story, Greg Heffley found out whether life was better in the old days as his modern life is taken away from him. It was interesting that the author wrote in a very casual tone that made me feel he was talking to me in an everyday conversation. Kinney also used lots of funny vocabularies throughout this book that made me laugh lots of times. I never came upon confusion when reading the book because everything was written in simple and short sentences. I especially loved the illustrations that went along with the story. They were very neat, and I thought it was fun to read the text boxes inside them because they were often silly and amusing. The transition between different subjects were quite smooth, and Kinney had done a good job relating each scene to the others. However, I thought the Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Old School could be improved if there was a more central story that the novel could follow. I found that Kinney always wrote about different subjects when describing the story, but sometimes I felt it would have been better if he just focused on the main story, and added more details on the actions, thoughts, and surroundings of the characters. In summary, I would recommend Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Old School to younger children or people who have weaker reading abilities and like a playful and easy read.
My Hero Academia Vol (11-18) Kohei Horikoshi Collection 8 Books Set
By Kohei Horikoshi
I am currently only on book no.3, but I recommend this series, both the anime and the manga. The people who say that the fan base is toxic only look in the bad crevices.

Rowley Jefferson's Awesome Friendly Adventure (Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid)
By Jeff Kinney
I was required to read Rowley Jefferson’s Awesome Friendly Adventure for school, and I have to say that it wasn’t the best book I’ve ever read. Okay, it wasn’t bad—I liked how it involved a tiny bit more action and adventure than the normal Diary of a Wimpy Kid books—but some of the characters aren’t as well-developed as I expected. For example, take Garg. Instead of showing more of his backstory, the author just mentioned that he was a barbarian, which doesn’t tell us much information about him. Another problem was how the plot moved slowly. The story basically just starts out with Roland living an ordinary, boring life, and wishing he could go on an adventure, but the adventure doesn’t actually start until the fourth or fifth chapter. I’ve only read the first few chapters so far, so I hope the book gets better later on. However, there were some good things about this book that I enjoyed, like the humor. It wasn’t as humorous as the other Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, but still pretty funny. I liked how a debate between Rowley and Greg came after each chapter, with their thoughts on the book, even though Greg’s a character I didn’t particularly enjoy. Overall, I think Rowley Jefferson’s Awesome Friendly Adventure is a good book, just not the greatest in the series.
