Dear all, I'm sorry that this is past the time for announcements, but this wonderful opportunity just came up:

Jeff Kinney ? Author Chat Tuesday August 19 3:00 p.m. Easter Daylight Time Log on at: www.summerreading.org

Boys don't keep diaries-or do they?

Find out by logging on to the NYC Summer Reading website at www.summerreading.org and join us at your local library or wherever you are in the world for an online chat with the bestselling author, Jeff Kinney.

Jeff Kinney has worked as a newspaper designer and computer programmer, and at other occupations that do not hinge on physical prowess. He never intended to run Diary of a Wimpy Kid on the Web, but the opportunity came up to post his story on Funbrain.com as he was developing it. He and his family live in Plainville, Massachusetts. This is his first book. DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: A NOVEL IN CARTOONS was released in April 2007 and quickly became a New York Times bestseller. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules was released in January 2008 and also became a #1 bestseller.
