About this book

Greg Heffley's got a secret, and if anyone finds out the juicy details, his life is going to get turned inside out. Unfortunately, he's also got an older brother, Rodrick, who has a talent for sniffing these things out. But secrets can't stay under wraps for long - especially when there's a diary involved.

This special edition, with an exclusive cover image, is to celebrate the full-color, 3D animated Disney+ production of Diary of a Wimpy Kid- Rodrick Rules.
Rodrick's band, L ded Diper, has never been so awful, and the laughs have never been so loud. And with 275 million Wimpy Kid books in print and counting, Greg Heffley's world has never been bigger.
