Here’s introducing the newest Wimpy Kid author – Rowley Jefferson! Rowley’s best friend Greg Heffley has been chronicling his middle-school years in thirteen diary of a Wimpy Kid journals… and counting. But it’s finally time for readers to hear directly from Rowley in a journal of his own.

In Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid, Rowley writes about his experiences and agrees to play the role of biographer for Greg along the way. (After all, one day Greg will be rich and famous and everyone will want to know his life’s story.)

Let’s meet the author, Rowley Jefferson!

Rowley doesn’t like horror stories as we can tell from this incident.

“I’ve gotta tell the whole truth. I wet my pants when I was in the basement and heard those noises outside.”

*

Rowley has observed odd things about Greg’s stories.

“We’ve been friends for a long time and he’s told me a BUNCH of things that seemed a little shaky so now I’m kind of thinking not everything he’s told me is a hundred percent accurate.”

*

Rowley is composed.

“I knew that Greg was trying to make me mad but for some reason that song didn’t really bother me that much.”

*

Rowley might be a little naïve and gullible.

“Well I knew Greg was just trying to get out of giving me the candy he owed me so I tried to act like I thought this Good Boy award thing was dumb. But somehow Greg could tell I thought it was kind of COOL.”

*

Rowley is honest and doesn’t encourage cheating on tests.

“I whispered to Greg to go away because he was trying to CHEAT. But Greg said it’s not cheating since we were study partners and we both had the exact same information in our brains.”

*

Rowley is hardworking.

“I had to stay up for two more hours uncrinkling my notes and taping them into my notebook and was up ANOTHER half hour researching stuff on my dad’s computer.”

*

Rowley is a true friend to Greg.

“I know me and Greg don’t always get along but like Mrs Heffley said, sometimes friends get on each other’s nerves.”

Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid: Rowley Jefferson’s Journal offers readers a new way to look at the Wimpy world—one fans won’t want to miss!

‘All princess stories are the same!’ But not this one. This is a story about two girls. Keya just happens to be a princess. Nyla just happens to be a tomboy. Both, as it turns out, just want to be themselves. When Princess Keya quits and Nyla shows up to replace her, two worlds collide. Together the girls ruffle dresses and feathers; break vases and traditions; fight dragons and boredom; grow roses and revolutions.

Here is a look at the two lovable characters of Twice Upon a Time!

Meet Princess Keya:

Princess Keya is the definition of everything pristine and perfect. Princess Keya does princessy things like any princess anywhere: She sings, dances, wears pink at all times. She throws tea parties, she embroiders, she crochets.  She can join her hands in a namaste more exquisite than a lotus bud, admire the roses in her garden and, oh yes, she bakes too. While she may not know what she wants from her life, she only knew what she didn’t want! Which is the crowd of people at her heels all day, pinning her back, pressing her legs or carrying her parasol! She wants to achieve great, heroic things such as planting a flag upon a mountaintop or trussing up the sails of a ship at the height of a storm. She wants to travel far, far away, where no one can tell her to eat, sleep or sit still.

Meet Nyla:

Nyla is a bubbly and effervescent girl with a rare indomitable spirit. Beneath the rough exterior, she is an innocent child who loves the colour pink as it reminds her of flowers and sunsets. Nyla wants to eventually make her parents proud of her and see her for the girl she is. Reading the newspaper is one of her favourite things to do. But normally disturbed by her brothers and their antics, she struggles to read and find her personal space. Dared by her brothers in a silly challenge, Nyla soon finds her way to becoming a real princess!

Boisterous, over the top and wicked funny, Twice Upon a Time is the perfect princess book for girls who have outgrown princesses.

Magic in Mussoorie takes you into the adventurous world of Nakul and Kuku.

Nakul Sahej is a tall, lanky and bespectacled man with a thoughtful and intuitive nature. Nakul usually ends up humouring Kuku and also pulling him out of trouble, something he has to do quite often. A quick thinker, he has an inquisitive mind and loves to investigate.

Nakul is patient, thoughtful and brave. He is a leader and a decision maker by nature and is always leading Kuku into adventures even when Kuku is not convinced enough, sometimes even doing so by bribing Kuku with food.

Chitleshwar Prasad a.k.a Kuku is a short burly young lad with an insatiable hunger. Short tempered and not one to think before speaking, Kuku often gets himself into trouble.

Kuku likes to believe he is not too afraid of thunder, rain or creepy lonely houses, though in reality, even a little cat jumping out of nowhere scares him. Despite not being much of a risk taker and always questioning Nakul’s actions, he never leaves is side.
