review 1: I think this book is similar enough to Wimpy Kid yet totally content appropriate that it might be good enough to interest many of the 3rd and 4th graders at my school. I do not let them check out Wimpy Kid books since the content is meant for middle schoolers and the lead character is an anti-role model. I am fine with 5th and up reading those books but cannot justify them getting them from the school library. Just ordered a copy of this book and the second one from Amazon.
review 2: Great readlike for Wimpy Kid fans. PJ is a 5th grader who wants to be a secret agent/ninja. He lives with his mom and sister and the entire book is written as letters to his dad. When the famous macaroni and cheese from the cafeteria goes missing PJ takes on the case. All clues see
... morem to point to Jack, the meanest bully in school, but not everything adds up. Funny, but with some bigger issues surrounding the characters (PJ's dad is not in the picture; PJ has a nervous habit of chewing his pajamas). Recommended for boys grades 3-5, though I think girls will like it too. less

For Wimpy Kid fans - similar format, but the story isn't as strong.

A decent choice for a Diary of a Wimpy Kid read-alike.

In the vein of Kinney and Peirce...but more, eh.
