Jeff Kinney Books.
Jeff Kinney is a Games Designer, by profession, however, he is most famously known as the author of the incredibly popular Diary of a Wimpy Kid series of books. The first Diary of a Wimpy Kid book was published in 2007, and has just been made into a film, with Zachary Gordon in the lead role. Kinney initially published his story on the website FunBrain, in order to reach as many children as possible, but when he moved to have it put into book-form, he decided to split it across a whole series of books. All together, the series of Wimpy Kid books have collectively been in the New York Times Bestseller List for Children’s Books for over forty weeks. In 2009, Time magazine named Kinney of the top Most Influential People in the World. There are currently six Wimpy Kids books available, with a new one due to be released to coincide with the launch of the new film.
