BOOK 1 TO 16 AND SOME EXTRAS DIARY OF A WIMPY KID BOOK 1 TO 16 AND SOME EXTRAS

No-one does the straight to camera narrative style of the diary better than Kinney ... This is as authentic and funny as the original Wimpy Kid books and makes just as irresistible reading.' - Andrea Reece, LoveReading4Kids Reviewer A whole new look into Jeff Kinney’s #1 international bestselling Diary of a Wimpy Kid series – now in a collectible, awesome friendly box set! Rowley is best known for being a good best friend to Greg. Rowley is quite immature and seems a bit naive, but his charming, cheerful and innocent nature made him more popular with other students (particularly the girls) than Greg had. His friendship with Greg is arguably more legitimate in the films than in the books: in the novels, Greg primarily uses Rowley for personal gain, though they are legitimate friends nonetheless. In Dog Days, he smashes " The Muddy Hand", which is really Gregory's hand. Abraham "Abe" Hall is a minor character who is only mentioned in the original book. Prior to the events of the original book, Hall was the last person in Westmore Middle School to get the original Cheese Touch that originated with Darren Walsh, failing to pass it on to anybody else, as no one would even come near him for the rest of the school year. During the summer, Abe moved away to California and took the Cheese Touch with him, ending its presence at school.Their most recent appearance was in The Ugly Truth when they move to another house because of a strange smell they cannot get rid of in their home following another half-birthday party for an unnamed child. The smell was caused by deviled eggs which Greg covertly threw into one of their plant pots when he was having dinner at their house; he had taken a dislike to the Snellas' deviled eggs, despite having had deviled eggs before. Despite trying to find the cause of the smell, after eliminating possible causes including a dirty carpet and a dead animal in a wall cavity, the Snellas cannot cope with the smell and eventually decide to move. Greg feels guilty when he sees that they are taking the plant pot with the deviled eggs with them, but he resolves to try to find a way to sneak deviled eggs into Fregley's house. He appears in all of the books and movies, and the online version as well, to date, but he only made a small appearance in Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul and Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Getaway.

In Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid: Rowley Jefferson's Journal, he has a very different appearance and it is unknown if they are the same person. In this book, Rowley explains that he called his grandfather "Bampy" because he could not say "Grandpa" when he was two. As he got older, he was not allowed to change what he called him, and as his grandfather got older, he only said "Bampy", suggesting he was struggling with insanity and had to be put down. A year later, Rowley described an experience that made him believe he encountered Bampy's ghost while staying at his old log cabin. Although his family is vaguely referenced in the books, the Warrens (known as the Swanns in the online book) are what got Frank thinking of making Greg more manly. In the books, Mr. Warren is Frank's boss. Frank is deeply jealous of the Warrens. In stark contrast to Greg and his brothers, the Warrens' children are shown to be athletic and sporty. In the third film, Stan, the father of the family, is shown to be a neighbor of the Heffleys. He had a minor childhood rivalry with Frank, that they appear to have gotten over as adults. In the movie, Mr. Warren is the troop master of the Wilderness Explorers and invites everyone over for an Independence Day party. They only appear in The Last Straw. In the film adaptation of The Long Haul, Stan was replaced as Frank’s boss by a woman named Julie, who makes a brief voice cameo in the film when it is revealed that Frank forgot to ask Julie for time off from work, which results in Julie calling Frank on his phone. Since Stan has not appeared in any of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books since The Last Straw, it is implied that he retired or quit, which is why Frank now has a different boss. However, Julie has not appeared in any of the books. Joshie is a European singer (possibly British) who is Rowley's favorite idol. Greg believes that Joshie is for six-year-old girls, but Rowley ignores him, saying that Greg is jealous because he was the one who "discovered" Joshie. However, despite Rowley's opinion, Joshie appears to be a singer that is mainly idolized by females (specifically 6-year-old girls). Gerald is Susan's cousin from California who lived with the Heffleys for a few months after Greg was born, which he embarrassingly reminds Greg of every time he sees him. You've never seen the Wimpy Kid World like this before - an entirely new, awesome, friendly, truly fantastic fantasy quest from #1 international bestselling author Jeff Kinney!Rowley, Greg and Susan are screaming one another at the Gramma's Basement when she cames with her laundry. In Cabin Fever, their vacant house is moved into by a man called Mr. Alexander, who has uneven teeth that Greg's dad thought were fake the first time they met. Joseph "Joe" Heffley is Frank's brother and Greg's uncle. Frank has a sibling rivalry with Joe due to his actions. When Manny started potty training, Uncle Joe told him to watch out for the "potty monster", causing him to fear using the bathroom, forcing Frank to change his diapers for a longer period. Joe's children call their uncle "Aunt Fwank", which Frank swears he told them to do on purpose. Susan thinks it is cute, though. In Dog Days, Greg mentions that he tried to make Joe convince Frank to get a dog, but that did not work out. He also mentions that Joe's dog, Killer, ate most of his birthday cake.

In the film adaptations, Rowley's mother is portrayed by Kaye Capron in Diary of a Wimpy Kid (who in turn is the real-life mother of Robert Capron, the actor who plays Rowley) and by Bronwen Smith in Dog Days. Although much of Greg’s character is to a degree obnoxious, he does have a number of redeeming features, and his character flaws have become less well-defined as the series has progressed. He is now starting to show signs of maturing into somewhat of a likeable young man as he starts to take responsibility for many of his misdeeds and character flaws. Rowley Jefferson Lawrence Heffley is Greg's uncle who did not appear at Uncle Gary's fourth wedding because he is always traveling. He is said to almost never come to family gatherings because of this, but he sometimes makes an appearance by webcam.

Greg Heffley

Gramma is Susan's mother and Greg's maternal grandmother. Gramma is known to drive a car like the Heffleys'. Greg often calls her to his home as a way to avoid his dad's scoldings, since his father will not do this when she is around. Her favorite grandchild is Manny, although she denies and lies about this despite overwhelming evidence in the form of pictures on her refrigerator and many of Manny's drawings around her house. She also seems to have a passion for bingo and knitting. Gramma has a dog named Sweetheart, usually shortened to Sweetie. It has been said and shown that she overfeeds Sweetie. Franklin Wayne "Frank" Heffley Jr. is depicted to be Greg's overreactive but well-meaning father. He is about 42 years old and is interested in U.S. history, with his replica of a Civil War battlefield serving as a recurring plot point in the series. [2] In the books, Frank despises Rowley, [2] and does not appreciate Greg's skill at video games. He is also shown to loathe heavy metal [1] and adolescents. [3] Frank tries to toughen Greg up and threatens to send him to a military academy in The Last Straw, although ultimately this does not come to fruition, much to Greg's relief. [3] However, Greg and Frank grow together in Dog Days, despite a brief period when Frank does not speak to Greg after almost getting arrested and going to jail.
