Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney

Kinney, Jeff. (2013).Diary of a wimpy kid : hard luck. New York: Amulet Books

This is the 8th book in the series. These books can't stay on the shelf! Elementary school students of all ages seem to love these books, even the most reluctant readers. The main character Greg is always doing something rotten. In this book, Greg uses a magic eight ball to make some decisions, like which club to join. He has to make a new friend, since his best friend got a girlfriend. But when it comes to the big decisions, Greg makes the right decisions when it really counts, like deciding not to buy another kid's science fair project and showing compassion to a friend at the right time. These graphic novels are great for elementary school readers. They bring even the most reluctant readers to the library asking if there are any Wimpy Kid books available; to me that is a success!
