A literary take on fashion part 25

If you’re new to this books into fashion series, you can catch up with the others HERE.

In this 25th (wow!) installment I decided to give it a boyish twist, with the books I found the most annoying but that kids LOVE. Saying they love these two awful books is an understatement, they are both best selling series based on naughty-ass protagonists! Parents hate them, kids can’t get enough. I just think they’re written poorly, but kids deserve to read something fun and silly once in a while – and these books deliver.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney has sent kids into a comic/diary style book craze. They just released the 8th book a few months ago (yes, I’ve read them all!), and kids are still going nuts for all of them. Greg is just a “wimpy” seventh grader who alway seems to get himself in trouble and is completely oblivious to the fact that he’s being a jerk the whole book to his family and friends! He spends most of the book writing about how he’s trying to not get picked on and avoiding the cheese touch, but also achieving the most lazy lifestyle possible. It has its funny moments.

Similar to the wimpy kid series, the Adventures of Captain Underpants by Dav Pilkey is a terribly silly series about two boys getting into lots of trouble. George and Harold get into major trouble and try to get out of it by ordering a hypnotizing ring, which turns their ever mean Principal, Mr. Krupp, into the amazing Captain Underpants from their comics. Who yes, wears nothing but tighty-whities and a red cape.

Some days I feel silly for having read these books – but when you’re constantly working with kids, you sometimes have to see what the hype is all about! And if you ask me, I’ll give the same answer as to why I read the Twilight and 50 Shades of Grey series So how about you, have you been tortured into reading these books too?
