Kinney,
J. (2008). Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules. New York, NY: Amulet Books.
I really enjoyed
reading this book and can’t wait to keep reading the series. The
illustrations are comic type and very entertaining. Rodrick is Greg’s
older brother and is always picking on him. Greg can’t
wait to go back to school because of a very embarrassing moment during the
summer. The worst thing, is that Rodrick found out and uses that against him
and makes him do things for him and has him always at the edge of his seat.
Throughout the book Greg gets involved in a series of troubles with his brother
and friends. His mom decided to use mommy bucks as a reward system, but that
failed. Towards the end of the book Rodrick decides to participate in the
talent show with his band. Rodrick believes that he can submit his video to
recording studios, but ironically his mother is the sensation. Throughout the
video mom is seen dancing to the music and draws everyone’s
attention.
The illustrations
throughout the book really engaged the reader. This realistic fiction is well organized
and has a great story structure. At times, humorous, yet delightful to continue
reading. The characters in the story were involved till the end of the story.
Excellent use of character traits and keeping the readers engaged.
