I came across this book first because a number of the students in my Special Education class absolutely could not put it down. If you're looking for a book/series to engage reluctant readers, look to Kinney.
While arguably not "classic literature," this book does capture what a middle-school boy might write in a journal and presents as an easy, inviting read that is definitely fun and amusing. Similar in style to the popular Captain Underpants series, I personally prefer Kinney's series as a bit more sophisticated and witty, having read through a few Captain Underpants books myself.
If you're interested in reading more about this book and other really good reads, both for your students and for yourself, you can check out my blog: [...].
