Journal of a Sneaky Twerp: A Shameless Wimpy Kid Parody
Boys are semi-literate brutes―or are they?
Gregor "Shmegegge" Hufflepuff finds himself thrust into the world beyond his insulated cul-de-sac, where sneaky twerps like him have to share the air with kids who, terrifyingly, are slightly different. But nothing scares Gregor more than the slice of metaphorical cheese moldering deep within his soul. Can he and his friend-of-convenience, Jowley Monticello, make it through the year without having to learn anything about themselves?
The pitfalls of avoiding growing up are uniquely revealed through the pompous musings and slapdash graffiti of Gregor's so-called journal.
When you were ten, did you love the Wimpy Kid series? Then this book is going to piss you off.

Very... strange. And politically charged. It also ruined Diary of a Wimpy Kid for me. I can see why some people might like it, but I'd only recommend it to someone who hated Greg anyways and likes parodies.
It could do with a warning at the start of the book or something, since I see so many of these reviews are parents who accidentally bought this for their kids without knowing that this book is definitely not for children.
Not fully terrible - I still finished it, and there were some parts that were funny - but I don't think I'll read it again.

trash
I may only be 12 but this is singlehandedly the worst book I have ever read I thought it would be funny and humorous but it swore,talked inappropriately,used badly done drawing of wimpy kid and is altogether a complete scam.Also how did they not get copyrighted for this and the drawings whoever made this should be in prison for life!!

Bad copy of diary of a wimpy kid
Literally could not get through %10 of this book. When I threw the book down and looked at the author description it was practically the worst book I ever read one star.

COPIED BOOK 📖
Instead of saying Diary it says JOURNAL I am not a expert of the diary of a wimpy kid but I think that it’s not supposed to say Journal and it’s a complete waste of time, copy, a completely useless piece of junk

Do middle schoolers think like Gregor? The nerd's psychological needs are to gain confidence. At that age, I struggled with the spelling of those big words, not the actual tactic to obtain confidence. Gregor didn't want to do work to learn new words or think things on his own. This, a different read, was good. Written as diary entries. Do boys keep diaries? Gregor does. Memorize a bunch of facts then regurgitate them on the test. Who thinks like that? Gregor does.

LMAOOOO
A hilarious parody of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. I think that most people who love/loved the DOAWK books would have agreed with the fact that Greg is an insecure sociopath who definitely doesn't have the best morals. I'm not critiquing Greg's personality; In my opinion, that's what gives the series its charm. Glad I stumbled upon this book, made me laugh.
