Abrams published the first Wimpy Kid collection in April of 2007 and the book eventually became a New York Times #1 bestseller, no mean feat for any kind of graphic novel or graphic novel hybrid, and the reason is simple -- the book is just plain funny. Abrams just published the second of five planned books in the Wimpy Kid series, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules ($12.95) earlier this month. While these volumes are perfect for reluctant readers and for the 9-14 age group, they are also wonderfully enjoyable for anyone who has suffered through the indignities of Junior High.
