Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Old School good for reluctant readers?
Yes. The mix of short diary entries and cartoon drawings makes it one of the easiest Wimpy Kid books to get into, which is why teachers often recommend the series for kids who find long chapter books hard to finish.

Do I need to read the other Wimpy Kid books before this one?
No. While Old School is book 10 in the series, each Diary of a Wimpy Kid book tells its own complete story, so new readers can jump in without feeling lost.

What age group is this paperback best suited for?
Old School is written for kids roughly aged 8 to 12, though plenty of younger and older readers enjoy it too thanks to its funny tone and easy-to-follow format.

Short Summary

In this story, Greg's town votes to unplug from modern technology for a while, and his family gets swept up in it. Greg is sent off to a rustic camp called Hardscrabble Farm where he has to deal with chores, the outdoors, and zero electronics. Readers get the same mix of comic strip drawings and diary entries that made the series famous, plus plenty of laugh-out-loud moments about family, friendship, and surviving without a screen. Have you ever had to go a whole day without your phone? Greg's story might make that sound a little easier.

Things in Nature Merely Grow by Yiyun Li

What does it mean to keep living when life has changed forever?

Things in Nature Merely Grow by Yiyun Li is a deeply personal memoir about loss, motherhood, love, memory, and the difficult work of continuing to live after unimaginable tragedy. Rather than offering simple answers or a traditional story of healing, Li uses writing, gardening, reading, music, philosophy, and everyday life to examine what remains after loss.

The book grew from Li’s experience of losing both of her sons, Vincent and James. Through clear, thoughtful prose, she considers grief without trying to make it neat or easy. The result is a powerful meditation on what it means to remember someone, to love them after they are gone, and to continue existing in the world around you.

A Memoir About Love, Loss, and Acceptance

At the center of the book is a mother’s attempt to understand experiences that cannot truly be explained. Li reflects on motherhood, memory, suffering, mortality, and the limits of what one person can know about another.

The title itself comes from Li’s observations of her garden. Plants do not search for explanations or demand a particular meaning from life. They simply grow when they can and become dormant when they must. That simple idea becomes part of Li’s wider reflection on how human beings continue living through circumstances they cannot control.

Why Readers May Connect With This Memoir

If you are looking for a thoughtful memoir about grief and loss, this book offers something different from a conventional guide to overcoming sorrow. Li does not promise closure. Instead, she explores how love, memory, thought, and ordinary routines can exist alongside grief.

Readers will find:

  • A deeply personal account of motherhood and loss
  • Reflections on grief, memory, mortality, and love
  • Thoughtful discussions of philosophy and literature
  • Gardening and everyday routines as ways of continuing life
  • A direct and intellectually engaging writing style
  • A powerful meditation on what it means to remember

The memoir is particularly suited to readers who appreciate literary nonfiction that asks difficult questions rather than providing easy conclusions.

For readers interested in meaningful nonfiction, A Hymn to Life by Gisèle Pelicot and A Book of Life by Peter Kingsley offer two thoughtful perspectives on life, resilience, meaning, and the human experience. (bookwharf.com)
