Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Adult Readers
Kinney, J. (2012). Diary of a wimpy kid: The third wheel. New York: Amulet Books. To my surprise, there’s another edition to the Diary of a Wimpy Kids collection. Same the previous books, the main characters are Greg and Rowley. Greg’s problem is finding a date for his middle school Valentine Dance. After much determination and silly efforts, such as writing a crush letter and strategically planning the response, Greg is able to find a date. However, his friend Rowley still cannot find one and unfortunately, just before the dance, he gets chicken pox. A sudden twist occurs in the end when Rowley ends up being approached by Greg’s date. Throughout the years, we have seen how Diary of a Wimpy kid has gained so much popularity and momentum. The books provides an excellent method of getting your reluctant readers to read. The book is filled with creative comic illustrations and funny quotes that accompany the text. This book would serve as an excellent tool to address dialogue, along with addressing literary elements, such as plot. Extensions of this book include: "Diary of a Wimpy Kid," "Rodrick Rules," "The Last Straw, Dog Days," "The Ugly Truth," "Cabin Fever," and “Hard Luck,” as well as the "The Wimpy Kid Do-It-Yourself Book.” Criteria: As a reluctant reader you want a book that is going to captivate your attention. For this book the style does exactly that. The book is entertaining, it has a comical style of illustrations and language usage.
