Audio Clip: Diary of a Wimpy Kid Author Jeff Kinney
I don’t have to do much introductionin’ (new word) about “Diary of a Wimpy Kid“. Unless you call the earthy darkness beneath a rock your home, you know the books, and if you’re anything like me, you love them. This clip from NPR allows fans to go behind the scenes with creator Jeff Kinney. The interview brings to light some interesting stuff, such as the original intended audience for “Diary” (spoiler alert: not kids) and Mr. Kinney’s plans for more “Wimpy Kid” books. Yes, more are on the way. And not just one. Click the icon below to hear all the glorious details before I spill them.
