The highly anticipated sequel to the #1 NEW YORK TIMES bestselling book! 

Secrets have a way of getting out, especially when a diary is involved. 

Whatever you do, don’t ask Greg Heffley how he spent his summer vacation, because he definitely doesn’t want to talk about it. 

As Greg enters the new school year, he’s eager to put the past three months behind him... and one event in particular. 

Unfortunately for Greg, his older brother, Rodrick, knows all about the incident Greg wants to keep under wraps. But secrets have a way of getting out... especially when a diary is involved. 

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules chronicles Greg’s attempts to navigate the hazards of middle school, impress the girls, steer clear of the school talent show, and most important, keep his secret safe.

Review

“The world has gone crazy for Jeff Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.”  — Sun

“Kinney is right up there with J K Rowling as one of the bestselling children’s authors on the planet.”  — Independent

“Hilarious!”  — Sunday Telegraph

“The most hotly anticipated children’s book of the year is here - Diary of a Wimpy Kid.”  — The Big Issue

主人公格雷是一个念初中的半大小子。他善良、诚实、聪明、爱玩，满脑子的鬼点子。他的妈妈让他记日记，他除了松散地记述了有趣的或难忘的事情外，还画了许多漫画。在日记里，格雷记叙了他如何驾驭充满冒险的中学生活，如何巧妙逃脱学校歌唱比赛，最重要的是如何不让任何人发现他的秘密。他经常想捉弄人反被人捉弄；他常常想做好事却弄巧成拙；他屡屡身陷尴尬境遇竟逢“凶”化吉。他不是好孩子，也不是坏孩子，就只是普通的孩子；他有点自私，但重要关头也会挺身保护朋友……总之，那些十几岁孩子常遇到的麻烦事他都毫无例外地遇上了：他的父母不让他打电子游戏，他的哥哥欺负他，他的弟弟总给他惹麻烦，而他学校的女生则认为他不过是浪费她们的时间。在日记里，格雷通过调侃戏谑的笔调，道出他对生活中挫折及成功的独特观察。全书以生活化口吻和用词、令人发噱的笑料，配上简单爆笑的插画，传神地描绘出青春期的“时而天真、时而叛逆、时而顽皮、时而无奈”。

Whatever you do, don’t ask Greg about his summer vacation because he definitely doesn’t want to talk about it...
It’s a brand-new year and a brand-new journal and Greg is keen to put the humiliating (and secret!) events of last summer firmly behind him.
But someone knows everything—someone whose job it is to most definitely not keep anything embarrassing of Greg’s private—his big brother, Rodrick. How can Greg make it through this new school year with his not-quite-cool reputation intact?
