ROWLEY JEFFERSON'S AWESOME FRIENDLY ADVENTURE by Jeff Kinney

 

Greg Heffley of Wimpy Kid fame has some competition. His friend Rowley is writing his own material, but never fear, Greg is on hand to help with advice whether Rowley wants it or not.

Rowley is sitting down to write a book. His idea is filled with adventure and fantasy, and he's sure it will be a success. There's a one-eyed wizard, a pixie, a few monsters, a vampire, and even a werewolf for awhile. Rowley's hero is Roland. Roland is on a quest to rescue his mother who has been kidnapped by the White Warlock. If Roland doesn't get there in time, his mother will be forced to wed the White Warlock and will never be able to return home.

At the end of each chapter, Rowley receives writing advice from his friend Greg Heffley. Greg is convinced that only way to consider Rowley's book a success is if it gets made into a movie. Greg encourages Rowley to include plenty of adventure, maybe some romance, and for sure a couple of deaths. He thinks if Rowley does everything right, he will get a movie deal, action figure dolls of his characters, and even toys for kids in fast food meals across the country. Unfortunately, taking Greg's advice could mean compromising the story Rowley really wants to write.

Author Jeff Kinney returns with his trademark humor and fun illustrations in ROWLEY JEFFERSON'S AWESOME FRIENDLY ADVENTURE. Wimpy Kid fans will love this new storyline and no doubt beg for more.
