"Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid is well on track to being as
loved by children as Kinney's original series is. The silly
situations, comic timing, frustrating selfishness of Greg and open
friendliness of Rowley continue to work their magic, creating a
book that young readers will likely want to revisit time and time
again."-- "Shelf Awareness"
"Kinney perfectly captures middle-school logic and relationships...
Laughs abound, of course, and a roundup of lies Greg told Rowley is
particularly hilarious. Kinney has mastered this format, and fans
of the beloved series will be delighted by this fresh
perspective."-- "Booklist"
"The character work is terrific. The fact that Kinney can expose
new facets of his characters this deep into the series is a credit
to the property . . . A pleasant twist on a sturdy franchise."--
"Kirkus Reviews"
