  10. My favourite book is diary of a wimpy kid and the author is Jeff Kinney. What happened in the book is that there was this boy that was really wimpy and he has this big brother and his brother has his very own drum band. Plus this wimpy kid has a small brother and his small brother scribbled all over his bedroom door. I like this book because it helps me learn more interesting words and it has loads of details in it.
