Diary of a Wimpy Kid began as a part of the kid's website FunBrain.com in 2004. The book began as the humorous online diary of the middle school underdog, Greg Heffley. Once the online cartoon was adapted into a book, author Jeff Kinney turned it into a book series.

The series of books feature childlike drawings along with Heffley's diary, which are accounts of his issues in school and at home with his mother, father, little brother and teenage brother.http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Diary-of-a-Wimpy-Kid/Jeff-Kinney/e/9780810993136/?itm=1
