Jeff Kinney hands the diary over to Rowley Jefferson, and the result is a gloriously muddled change of viewpoint. Rowley's earnest attempts to record Greg's future fame are packed with comic misunderstandings, energetic illustrations and a few reminders that this friendship is not always as equal as it looks.
