I gave this book a 4 star rating. This book was about the life of Jeff Kinney and how he became who he is today. Many people know him as the creator of Diary of a Wimpy Kid. But he also has created a virtual learning world. From a young age Jeff wanted to be a cartoonist. He eventually became a collage cartoon writer were he wrote his comic Igdoof. The author of Big Nate once featured Igdoof in one of his books. In all this book was how Jeff Kinney came to be.

This biography chronicles the life and career of author and illustrator Jeff Kinney, who created the series Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
