I had to pick a book from the Diary of a Wimpy kid series because it is the most iconic graphic novel that young adults read today. I never read these stories growing up, but I have heard so many wonderful things about the series that I had to try reading one. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days is a story about Greg and Rowley who decide to raise money by having their own lawn mowing business. The problem is: they do not know how to use a lawn mower! The story is the encounters that Greg has over his summer. Will they be filled with fun times, or full of tramatic moments? Find out by reading this story in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.
I would rate this book a ten out of ten. If you are to read a graphic novel, you should start with this series. The way that the pages are laid out makes for really funny moments for the reader. I personally like how the book is broken up with text and pictures. It is not difficult to follow with the mix of pictures and words. I also like how the pictures look drawn. It creates and authentic element and it really makes you feel like you are not reading a book. This is a great book to introduce to children who do not like to read. If this is the case, pick up these books for your child at your local library!
I loved the first diary of a wimpy kid, and this one seems to be great as well. It's a must read.
