What's the book about?
This series of books is about a boy who is a wimp. His name is Gregory. Gregory has two brothers. The eldest is Rodrick, who loves playing drums, and Manny is the youngest brother, who talks weird, looks weird and always does funny things.

What did you like about it?
I like the way the series is written like a diary and that every page has a funny, animated character.

Why did you choose it?
I chose this series because I love reading funny stories and it looked really fun to read. Also, Gregory looks like a stick in the drawings.

What other books would you recommend?
I would also recommend the Who Was...? series of books. Each book is a biography of a famous person.
