John McLay: Diary of a Wimpy Kid event

From Diary of a Wimpy Kid

I’m really excited about Jeff Kinney’s sixth Wimpy Kid novel, Cabin Fever, publishing this month which will be one of the biggest books of the year across all of children’s and adult publishing. Puffin Books has printed half a million copies for the occasion. Wow! That’s huge!

Since it was first published in the UK in 2008, Diary of a Wimpy Kid has been a phenomenal success and was included on the 2009 Booked Up list.

I’m excited to see another children’s book grab so much attention in the media, and that Jeff is stopping off in Bath next month on his first UK tour. It’s a one-off Bath Kids Lit Fest event staged in association with The Telegraph and Waterstone’s Booksellers on Saturday 3 December at 2pm in The Pavilion, Bath.

Jeff will be joined on stage by two actors from the Wimpy Kid films – Zachary Gordon (Greg) and Robert Capron (Rowley). We hope you can join us there! You can book tickets here.
