November 2011

Just one week to go until the sixth book in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series hits a bookshop near you! Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever is out on Wednesday 16th November - the date EVERYONE has been waiting for. We are so insanely excited that we’re struggling to concentrate. Will Greg get a girlfriend? Will Rodrick lose his attitude? Can Greg’s Mom become any more outrageously embarrassing?!

So many questions . . .

To celebrate the release of what is set to be THE BIGGEST children’s book of 2011 we’re delighted to announce a money-can’t-buy competition every Wimpy Kid fan needs to know about. 

[Löded Diper drum-roll please] . . . we’re offering you the chance to MEET JEFF KINNEY!

YES, that’s the one, the only, Jeff Kinney, creator of all the wonderful Wimpy Kid magic that we love so much! PANT, PANT!!

And it’s not only the chance to meet Jeff Kinney that’s up for grabs; there are chances to win prizes galore! And if your golden ticket isn’t a winning one, there’s still plenty more opportunities to meet Jeff whilst he tours the UK between Monday 28th November - Sunday 4th December!

Jeff is appearing live at theatre events in Dublin, Edinburgh, Nottingham and Bath where you can discover how he creates his hilarious jokes and hear how his characters made their transition from page to silver screen in the Wimpy Kid movies. There will even be a special appearance from the actors, Zachary Gordon (Greg) and Robert Capron (Rowley)!

You can also meet Jeff at public book signings at WHSmith Brent Cross Shopping Centre and WHSmith Lakeside Shopping Centre - be sure to get there early! Here are all the dates and times you’ll need to know . . . http://www.wimpykidclub.co.uk/2011/11/see-jeff-kinney-on-his-uk-tour/

50% comic strip.
50% novel.
100% hilarious!!

Now all you need to do is read the book – the funniest fever you’ll EVER catch!

I wrote this tale of star-crossed lovers at the end of the eighties, in response to what I saw as our increasingly divided society. I hoped that in time the crevasses that separated rich from poor might narrow to a point where we could stride over and embrace each other, becoming one.  

Instead,the passing years have seen the crevasses widen into chasms, so that it has become even harder for Daz and Zoe to find ways to meet. Hard but not impossible, since nobody has yet found a way to conquer love, which spans the widest, deepest chasms and always will.

Let’s hear it 4 love!
