“Jeff Kinney’s new release is the biggest book of the year and another milestone in the incredibly popular and long-lasting series, which has now spent over seven incredible years on the national bestseller lists,” said Michael Jacobs, president and CEO of ABRAMS Books.
In “Hard Luck,” Greg Heffley’s on a losing streak. His best friend, Rowley Jefferson, has abandoned him and finding new friends in middle school is proving to be a tough task. To change his fortunes, Greg decides to take a leap of faith and turn his decisions over to chance. Will a roll of the dice turn things around or is Greg’s life destined to be just another hard-luck story?
“Diary of a Wimpy Kid” is once again poised to be the biggest book series of the year, as book 8 hits stores on November 5. Kinney’s seventh Diary of a Wimpy Kid book, “The Third Wheel,” the biggest book release of 2012, continues to dominate bestseller lists and is the top-selling children’s title of 2013. The series has been a fixture on the USA Today bestseller list (the first book in the series remained in the top 150 for more than 200 weeks) and is also on the Wall Street Journal and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists. The series has remained consistently on the New York Times lists since the publication of the first book.
