Parent Verdict

This illustrated middle-grade book follows Greg Heffley through everyday school and family misadventures, with humor built on awkwardness and sibling rivalry. Language is mild, with no profanity, and the occasional slapstick or playground scuffle is cartoonish and harmless. Its themes of friendship and family make it appropriate for most elementary and middle-school readers.
