It is funny and silly! Diary of a wimpy kid is the best book I've ever read.
I liked it when Greg looks for the magic 8 ball but he finds Meemaw's diamond ring.

The main character Greg's friend Rowley leaves him when they met a girl named Abigail who changes Rowley and Greg's life for a while.
Ferry fun
Greg tried to find a new friend
I liked its funniness and how there is lots of dilemmas in the story. I liked Rodrick. I would recommend it to people with a big sense of humour. I really like this book.
Someone who has lost a best friend would relate to this book
Fun
I love this book
It was so good
Read this winning book
It carry’s on from number 7
I liked how stupid Greg is because he used a magic 8 ball in tests. Another great book by Jeff Kinney. It was really funny.
I love the part where Greg thought the magic ball was fake but the magic ball lead to his grandmas missing ring. I wonder will he give it back
I liked this book because it is about a teen named Greg. He had a best friend but his best friend wanted someone else as a friend so he got another friend. Greg had to go through an adventure but in the end they were friends again.
The person I liked the most was Greg, the main character. It is a very funny book and I would 100% recommend it to someone else
This is a very good book and very funny
Rowley and Greg have seperated and Greg needs to find a new friend in a book. I liked the part where Fregley put bubblegum on his belly-button which was funny.
I like gregg but feel sorry for him because he had no friends but then he did .
Lovely.
I loved it because at one point at the story chewed bubble gum on their bellybutton
It was a good book to read it left me speechless
This book was a fiction book and my favourite character was Greg. What happened was that Greg is in middle school and his best friend Rowley Jefferson ditched him and he can not find any more new friends as it is really tough. His mum said "friends will come and go but family is forever." I would recommend this book to other people.
These are my favourite books. I really enjoy reading them.
Greg is once again unlucky
I loved how it involved magic and the 8 ball, and how it was so funny! I would recommend this to EVERYONE!
