Bridget
Bridget asked Jeff Kinney:

This series is the only series I have read where I can't wait for the next book. The last book you wrote is just as funny as the first.

Jeff Kinney Thank you! I really appreciate that!!

A Goodreads user
A Goodreads user asked Jeff Kinney:

How did you think of the idea of writing about a middle school kid? Did you have these sort of experiences when you were in middle school? Would you ever think of maybe like, I don't know, having a new student move into school and them really hitting it off? I really enjoy your books and so does my dad. Hurry up and write a new one! :D

Eli
Eli asked Jeff Kinney:

I have a letter i want to send to you. where can i send it to that you will get it?

Suzanne
Suzanne asked Jeff Kinney:

(Typing on behalf of my 9-year old son, Michael) I have a big brother (Tom - he's 12) and I really like how you write from the perspective of a younger brother. (Note from Mom - he really said this!) How did you choose the name Greg for the main character? And are you the big brother or the younger brother in your family?
