Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules by Jeff Kinney

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules is a book about a boy named Greg who's in 4th or 5th grade and has an older brother whose name is is Rodrick. Rodrick is in a band called the Loaded Diaper. Greg also has a younger brother named Manny. Manny is in preschool and is a big tattle-tale. He also has a dad, a mom and a friend named Rowley. Rowley goes to the same school as Greg and is funny. He is a pulling pranks and laugh out loud at the fart kind of funny.
Greg's dad is usually happy. His mom is usually not. She makes the boys do stuff that they don't like to do - like read literature books when they are more into comics.
One of Greg's uncles is kinda mean. He told the kids to call the dad Aunt Josephine. And he also scared Manny with tales of the potty monster that meant he had to re-potty train.

Railey's Rating: Two thumbs up! WAY up!

Railey Recommends: If books were rated I would rate this book PG because Greg and Rodrick get into fights a lot. There is bathroom humor and rude talk. Sometimes the boys are sassy to their mom and dad. It is an older elementary age, middle school and older kind of book because of the humor.

A note from the mom

Hi! My name is Stacie! I'm an adult. Actually, I am Railey's mom, to be specific.

Railey loves to read. Almost as much as she likes to climb trees and create her own crazy adventures!
She is excited to write some reviews and give recommendations of books she's read.  We thought we'd throw in some reviews of her fave movies, too!

All of the reviews posted have been written by Railey and reviewed by me. This is her place for her thoughts so I don't always edit her work, I like that she's a kid! I do however work with her to make sure her ratings are appropriate but you'd be surprised how right on she is!

I hope that you will enjoy her thoughts and find her reviews helpful.
Happy Reading!
