In the same hand-printed format as Diary of a Wimpy Kid, with cartoons punctuating every page, Greg's angst is on display as he attempts to navigate middle school with some sort of dignity. Greg might not be the most reliable narrator, but he certainly reports life as a middle brother with humor and the appropriate amount of whiny pessimism.
