Diary of a Wimpy Kid

I loved this book. The Wimpy kid really is just that. He does mean stuff to his best friend, is picked on by his older brother and takes it out on his little brother. He gets his comeuppance but really does n't get what he's done wrong. He just ends up doing the right thing to make things work out because he misses his best friend so much, and really can't hang out with anybody else. Just like a real junior high kid. The illustrations are simple and witty.

Lion Boy

This is a fun book about a boy who can talk "cat." He is sent off on a quest to find his parents and winds up on a circus ship with a group of unhappy lions. The journey from the circus to freedom is well done, and a real page turner. Someday I'll get around to reading the other two.
