by Jeff Kinney
In contracted braille with full picture descriptions, $13.95
(See below for electronic braille formats.)
Ages 9 and up

Get your reluctant reader hooked on this hilarious, wildly popular series. It has been on the New York Times Top-Ten list for more than 140 weeks!

Author/illustrator Jeff Kinney recalls the growing pains of school life and introduces a new kind of hero, middle-schooler Greg Heffley, who epitomizes the challenges of being a kid.

If you know anything about the Wimpy Kid books, you know that each page in the book has at least one simple cartoon sketch. These sketches not only illustrate what's happening in the story - they contain jokes and sometimes provide more information about Greg's point of view. National Braille Press offers the only fully-described version of the book! Take a look at a sample image below, with our description:

  <http://gallery.mailchimp.com/0150d8e3e15bab5b5433561b9/files/wimpy_sample.jpg> 
"At school today, they announced that student government elections are coming up. To be honest with you, I’ve never had any interest in student government. But when I started thinking about it, I realized getting elected Treasurer could TOTALLY change my situation at school."

[Picture description] Greg is seated at a desk with a nameplate that reads “Treasurer.” Two cheerleaders stand in front of him: “We cheerleaders are tired of riding to games in the same bus as the nerds in the band!” Greg: “Hmm... let me see what I can do...”

[Next picture] Greg is standing in front of a new limo with a ribbon tied around it. Two cheerleaders look extremely pleased.
