Spilling the Wimpy Beans
It’s become predictable that a new title in the Diary of A Wimpy Kid series (Abrams/Amulet) will be released in November.
News sources quote today’s press release confirming that expectation. There’s no title or cover yet (they will be unveiled on April 28, as a capper to “the third annual Wimpy Kid Month“) but the pub date is Nov. 1.
Author Jeff Kinney states that he was not so sure there would be an eleventh book in the series,
“After the tenth book, I found myself at a crossroads in my career, I wasn’t sure if I should continue writing Diary of a Wimpy Kid books or go down a different path. I had the opportunity last year to travel all over the world and meet fans of the series in places like China, Brazil, and Romania. The trip was incredibly energizing, and made me feel certain that there is a demand for more stories about Greg Heffley for years to come. This book is really special to me, because it reflects a renewed commitment to the series and a plan for the future.”
The book is not yet listed on wholesaler catalogs.
