Diary of a Wimpy Kid (Diary of a Wimpy Kid #1) by Jeff Kinney

This book is about fifth grader's transition to middle school and how he copes with things by writing about them in his diary. This is important to share with middle schoolers not only because it is funny but it shows they are not alone wiht there transition.
