Middle-school guys are the stars of these fast-paced, hilarious, and amply illustrated realistic series. While the Big Nate books aren't quite as sarcastic as the Wimpy Kid series, they're still a lot of fun (and capture some prime embarrassing moments). -- Ellen Foreman
Readers will identify with the likable characters in both funny series (peppered with cartoons and sketches) in which guys work through the embarrassments and good times of middle school. -- Kathy Stewart
Kids looking for laughs will giggle and guffaw at both of these heavily illustrated chapter book series. The Terrible Two are expert pranksters living in a dull town while Wimpy Kid's hero Greg Heffley is just a regular guy. -- Autumn Winters
Readers who enjoy diary-style illustrated novels will enjoy either of these laugh-out-loud series with relatable middle-school characters facing everyday problems like dealing with popular kids and having crushes. -- Allie Jackson
Young readers will both chuckle at and identify with the main characters of these series as they document the ups and downs of middle school in their diary, accompanied by black-and-white illustrations. -- Basia Wilson
Though Jake attends an arts academy unlike Greg's (Diary) more traditional institution, both tweens struggle their way through the social dynamics of middle school to hilarious effect in these realistic series. -- Stephen Ashley
Middle-school boys narrate these funny illustrated series. Greg records his daily life in a journal in Wimpy Kid, while Tyrell hosts an internal podcast in Tyrell Show. -- Linda Ludke
While New Kid is in graphic novel format and Wimpy Kid is an illustrated journal, both of these funny and bittersweet series feature tween boys (Black in New Kid, white in Wimpy Kid) with rich, complex interior lives trying to fit in. -- Hannah Gomez
Although the Planet Omar series is written for a slightly younger audience than Wimpy Kid, both angst-filled humorous stories star likeable, believable kids and feature plenty of illustrations. -- Autumn Winters

Both of these authors write believable, fast-paced books in which characters (usually middle-school-aged guys) are facing ups and downs with either family or school issues. With both, you can count on plenty of humor! Korman also writes for teens. -- Kathy Stewart
Middle-grade readers looking for funny, angst-filled diary fiction can't get enough of these authors' long-running series.

These authors write funny, fast-paced realistic fiction about the misadventures of middle school students. Jeff Kinney creates illustrated books; Destiny Howell writes prose fiction. -- CJ Connor

Published Reviews
School Library Journal Review
Gr 4-8-The wheeling and dealing of Greg Heffley's everyday life continues in the fourth book (Amulet Books, 2009) in Jeff Kinney's series. Unlike the previous stories, which take place during the school year, this one occurs during Greg's summer vacation. His summer plans include remaining indoors and playing video games, and not much else. But his mother has other plans for him, and so begins Greg's summer. His vacation is filled with one trial after another-running up an $83 dollar tab for smoothies at the country club where the father of his friend is a member (he thought the drinks were free), having to work to pay off his debt, starting a business which promptly fails, being frightened after watching a horror movie, bemoaning the fact that his mother starts a book club for boys, and that is just the beginning. Listeners will not have the opportunity to visually enjoy Greg's "handwritten" diary entries accompanied by his cartoon pictures, but they are certain to be entertained by Ramon de Ocampo's wonderful reading that skillfully captures Greg's self-centered, somewhat whining yet humorous angst.-Mary Oluonye, Shaker Heights Public Library, OH Copyright 2010 Reed Business Information.
