Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick rules - Author Jeff Kinney

Greg Heffley is back with another round of awkward adventures, sibling sabotage, and laugh-out-loud diary entries in Rodrick Rules, the second book in Jeff Kinney’s bestselling series.

After a summer full of cringe-worthy secrets, Greg is desperate to start the school year with a clean slate. But his older brother Rodrick has other plans. Rodrick knows exactly what happened over the holidays—and he’s not afraid to use it. As Greg tries to protect his reputation, stay out of trouble, and survive another year of middle school, readers are treated to a hilariously honest look at sibling rivalry and growing up.

Filled with iconic cartoons and dry humour, this book is a hit for reluctant readers, ESL students, and anyone who’s ever had a big brother.
