Diary of a Wimpy Kid (BK1)




The first book in the phenomenally successful series Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney is now an animated original Disney+ movie.

In 2007, Diary of a Wimpy Kid was published, introducing readers to Greg Heffley and his family, his best friend Rowley Jefferson, and the dreaded Cheese Touch.

More than 250 million copies later, Diary of a Wimpy Kid has become a beloved book all around the world, and now, for the first time ever, Greg’s diary—um, make that journal—is coming to life in a full-color, 3D animated Disney+ production.

Whether you’re meeting Greg for the first time or you’re a lifelong fan of Jeff Kinney’s hilarious series, you’ll love diving into the Wimpy Kid universe.
