Kid's Summer Reading List + Diary of a Wimpy Kid DVD *GIVEAWAY*

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.

Congrats to #20: Tania

Greg Heffley is about to discover that there is something worse than middle school – his own family! Based on the 2011 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice™ Award for Best Book Series, the original film cast returns in DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: RODRICK RULES, available on Blu-ray and DVD on June 21st. This flick takes sibling rivalry to entirely new levels as big brother and little brother wrestle through growing pains.

This summer, why not encourage your kids to pick up a great book on those days when it is just too hot to play outside!  Here's a great list of suggestions that they're sure to love ...

• DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: RODERICK RULES

One favorite read this summer is Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Roderick Rules, and just in time for the blu-ray and DVD release of the movie (based `on the book). What better way to kick of your summer fun?

• HARRY POTTER

To some kids, and adults, the Harry Potter books are an essential part of their life long reading experience. From Sorcerer’s Stone to The Deathly Hallows, the Harry Potter franchise is something of a legend. If you’re one of the few that hasn’t made these books part of your summer list, make this the summer that you do.

• RAMONA AND BEEZUS

The Ramona and Beezus book series follows the lives of Ramona and her family in Portland, Oregon. The popular series began in the 1950’s while it’s last written book, “Ramona’s World” was in 1999. The series remains popular to this day.

• R.L STINE’S GOOSEBUMPS

Want a way to get the chills during the heat this summer? Pick up R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps. The book series has been giving kids the heeby geebies for years and it’s sure to bring some dark adventures into the brightest summer day.

• NANCY DREW

It’s no mystery that Nancy Drew’s series will really keep you on your toes. You’ll have lots of fun solving crimes and snooping around with this classic books series that has been around since the 1930’s.

• THE CLIQUE

Strangely that you find yourself missing the caddy kids in school? Try reading The Clique by Lisi Harrison this summer and you’ll find yourself loving to hate the characters. All the drama will keep you flipping the pages, and possibly never leaving your house!

• JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH

The beloved classic James and the Giant Peach has been a joy for many growing up. Author Roald Dahl will take you on a journey of adventure and friendship which actually might have you wishing you were outside soaking up some sun.

• MATILDA

Another Roald Dahl book to check out over the summer is Matilda. The classic story of a gifted 4 year old with really bad parents will have you rooting for her success of becoming a normal little girl. It also quite possibly will have you taking your little sister out for summer ice cream.

• THE OUTSIDERS

At any age, you will get a blast from the past when reading The Outsiders. Follow characters Ponyboy and Sodapop as they try to get through mistakes they make in a judgmental society. This is a fantastic summer read for teens and adults!

• HOLES

Talk about wanting to stay out of the sun. In Louis Sachar’s Holes, follow Stanley and his friends as part of a juvenile detention, while they dig holes in a wasteland of heat and sunburns. Together they improve their characters as young men but not before embarking on a wild adventure in the desert that will leave


DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: RODRICK RULES will be available on single-disc DVD, 2-disc DVD, and 3-disc Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy and includes the crazy adventures Greg and his friends has over the summer with hilarious all-new “My Summer Vacation” shorts not seen in theaters.
