Lousy series. It's in the same format as Diary of a Wimpy Kid (text is interrupted with little comic strips that continue with the narrative) but isn't funny OR clever. This series would appeal to early 3rd graders, but I question if quantity rather than quality really does have a benefit in this case. It's just terrible writing, and the only reason I think Scholastic even sells any copies is because it's simply easy enough to read that kids feel like they've made it through a "chapter book" (but this hardly qualifies as that).… (altro)
