Books Included in This Collection:
Double Down

The fast pace and bite-sized chapters invite steady reading sessions and big giggles alike.
Old School
Old School sends Greg into a quieter, unplugged summer that looks nothing like his usual gadget-filled world. The humor comes from human moments—friendships, family quirks, and the awkwardness of growing up—while emphasizing the value of real-life connections. A wholesome, reflective entry that balances wit with warmth, perfect for family reading time.
Hard Luck
Hard Luck follows Greg as luck seems to take a vacation and resilience becomes the name of the game.

Expect fast-paced chapters, witty asides, and a familiar, endearing voice that makes the pages fly by.
The Third Wheel
Third Wheel puts Greg in the tricky position of navigating friendships, crushes, and social dynamics with his usual blend of comic timing and earnestness. The story explores what it means to fit in while staying true to oneself, all delivered with the series’ signature doodles and laugh-out-loud moments.
Cabin fever
Cabin fever hurls Greg into a wintery escape that quickly devolves into a series of chaotic yet charming misadventures. The setting heightens family dynamics and peer pressure, but Kinney keeps the humor gracious and relatable, ensuring readers are smiling through the chaos and recognizing themselves in Greg’s everyday tests.
The Ugly Truth

A breezy, beloved entry that keeps readers turning pages for more laughs and empathy.
Do-It-Yourself Book
Do-It-Yourself Book adds a playful twist, inviting readers to draw, doodle, and engage with interactive activities. It blends seamlessly with the narrative voice while offering a tactile break from traditional chapters. A perfect choice for hands-on readers who love to contribute their own art and ideas to Greg’s world.
Diary of A Wimpy Kid
The original diary from which the series sprang introduces Greg Heffley’s misadventures with a candid, humorous eye. This foundational title sets the tone for the entire collection, pairing mischief with relatable school-life chaos and a lead character kids cheer for as he stumbles toward adolescence with honesty and humor.
Rodrick Rules
Rodrick Rules leans into the brothers’ rivalry, throwing Rodrick’s antics into sharp relief against Greg’s attempts to stay out of trouble. The dynamic between siblings offers plenty of heart and humor, while the diary format keeps the pace brisk and the storytelling unusually intimate and engaging for readers.
The Last Straw
The Last Straw escalates the school and family pressures, testing Greg’s decisions and showcasing the consequences of choices. Kinney’s everyday realism and witty narration keep the tone light even when the stakes feel high, making it a satisfying bridge to later adventures in the series.
The Long Haul
The Long Haul eyes a family road trip turned comedy of errors, with a caravan of mishaps that flip the world upside down in the best possible way. The chaos is vivid, the family bond is intact, and the humor lands with broad appeal for kids who adore action-packed adventures with a warm twist.
