Jeff Kinney Diary of a Wimpy Kid 1-22 Books Boxed Set, Complete Collection Series, Paperback

This middle-grade novel continues the hilarious and relatable adventures of Greg Heffley as he navigates the treacherous waters of middle school, family life, and friendship. Through Greg's handwritten journal entries and simple cartoons, readers get an intimate look at his schemes, failures, and occasional small victories, all delivered with the signature humor that has made the series a global phenomenon.

What makes this installment stand out is its authentic portrayal of the small-scale dramas that feel monumental to a kid—from school projects gone awry to navigating complex social hierarchies. Kinney's genius lies in making Greg's flawed but earnest perspective both laugh-out-loud funny and deeply recognizable to anyone who remembers the awkwardness of growing up. Young readers will see themselves in these pages and come away feeling a little less alone in their own middle school misadventures.
