What To Read After ~ Diary of a Wimpy Kid
May 19, 2021 | Blog > News > What To Read After ~ Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Do you know anyone who’s devoured all the Wimpy Kid books… multiple times? Are they struggling to find another book they love as much? We’re here to help ?
An obvious choice is Liz Pichon’s brilliantly illustrated Tom Gates series, Dav Pilkey’s Captain Underpants series or Jonathon Mere’s World of Norm (illustrated by Donough O’Malley). And The Treehouse books by Andy Griffith and Terry Denton are brilliant.
We also wanted to share some recent publications that you may be less familiar with, but we’ve also found to be a very popular…
