Speaking Volumes

 The cover has just been released for the next Wimpy Kid book, Diary of a Wimpy Kid; Dog Days (the book won’t be out until Oct 12^th). This one is about the Heffley family on their summer vacation. Take a looksie:

I just love this series. We read the first one in our book club this year. It’s really funny, a very quick read, and such an easy sell to reluctant readers. I’ve sent it home with quite a few kids already this summer. For those who have not read it, the books are “novels in cartoons,” following the ‘diary’ of middle schooler Greg Heffley. In a statement about the new book Jeff Kinney said, “I’m very excited about Dog Days, because it takes Greg out of the school setting for the first time. It’s been a lot of fun to write about the Heffley summer vacation.”

Plus…there is going to be a 'Wimpy Kid Ice Cream Truck Tour' this summer. It is coming to CT, just not close by us (New Haven and Stamford). Copy and paste the link below for details:
