Yet, as Rowley’s popularity soars, Greg wonders if he can reach the same level of social success as his best friend.The Puffin Clothbound 85th Anniversary Collection features eight beloved titles: "The Story of Tracy Beaker" by Jacqueline Wilson, "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" by Jeff Kinney, "Charlotte’s Web" by E.B.
