Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth


I know many of you have been anxiously waiting for the latest Wimpy Kid book to hit the shelves. For those of you lucky enough to have gotten your hands on a copy, what did you think? Was it as good as the other Wimpy Kid books? Below are some questions to think about - please leave your answers, or any other thoughts on the book, in the comments!

1. This is the 5th book in the series - do you think you have to read the others first to understand The Ugly Truth?

2. What do the illustrations add to the story? Would the book make sense with out them?

3. Greg is growing up - does he think this is a good thing, or a bad thing? Why?
