"My campaign posters," Penelope blinked her unusually long eyelashes at me with a kind grin and offered me a flier, "Vote Penelope Wellington for Prom Queen?"įeeling as if my heart was going to combust with anger, I planted a fake smile that matched hers, snatched the poster right from her hands, and marched away. "What is this?" I managed to ask without letting her know that her nomination infuriated me, but, however, my voice still dripped with irritation. Vote Penelope Wellington for Prom Queen, it read in glittery font, a picture of her with a small golden crown under the writing. I was about to shoot her a death stare when my eyes met the poster. I was leaning against the corridor wall of my last period class, sipping on a large unsweetened iced tea, and admiring my hopeless crush when Penelope Wellington hung up a flier to my left.
PENELOPE READS DIAREY FULL
And to be fair, he did glance at me when he entered his class, although it was probably because the New Hopewell High rumour mill was on full swing and he got word of my supposed "butt situation" with Matt. I didn't have a chance with him, but it couldn't hurt to obsess over his honey-coloured eyes and high cheekbones. He was extremely popular, yet so laid-back and kind, which is probably what attracted me to him seeing that I was the polar opposite. I could have had any guy I wanted, but I was somehow stuck on Hunter Elingsworth. I attempted to talk to him before, but he totally blew me off and called me "Queen Bee." Which I technically was, but there was sarcasm and mockery in his voice, which hinted that he thought the whole thing was stupid. Which is what I, shamefully, had to resort to since we didn't have any classes together.Įven though Hunter knew of my existence - duh - he acted as if I was just one of the juniors. Meaning, I could quietly drool and observe his glorious self from my class corridor.
Hunter Elingsworth will be the death of me.Įconomics was my favourite class by far, and not because I enjoyed discussing banking and capitalism, nor that it was my last period, but because Hunter Elingsworth had Art History and his class was next door from mine.

PENELOPE READS DIAREY SERIES
Kinney's breakaway series proves what good storytellers have known for ages: You don't need lots of bells and whistles to command the attention and win the loyalty of young readers…just great characters and a darn good story! Jeff Kinney has won or been nominated for Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards every year since 2008. He's surprisingly resilient for a stick figure, and his fans don't need to see him in living color to know he's as full-bodied and realistic as a fictional middle school character can be. Greg faces his challenges-including epic battles with bullies, his brother, and his mom- always with predictable good humor.
Since then, Greg's comic book diaries have given voice to the culture and concerns of a whole generation of middle school readers, proving they are not alone in feeling odd or out of step.
Kinney released an online version of Diary of a Wimpy Kid in 2004 and published the first actual book in 2007. Jeff Kinney's #1 bestselling series began in 1998, when he pitched an idea to publishers about a middle school weakling named Greg Heffley who chronicled his trials and tribulations in a series of simple drawings and handwritten notes.
