Diary

Greg

's diary is his biggest job in the series. Without it, there would be no way to to know what happens in his life. So far there have been 9 of them. The first one is red, second is dark blue, 3rd is dark green, 4th is yellow, 5th is purple, and 6th is icy blue, 7 is brown, 8 is lime green, and 9 is orange. All of them say DIARY on the cover. Greg exclaims how he told his mom to get one that doesn't say diary, but his mother still got one that said diary, probably because it was cheaper. All of them have little drawings between the texts based on what Greg's talking about. Each Diary has 217 pages and some of them also have 17 activity pages and  the activities are extracted from the Do-It Yourself Book.

Then when the security came and got him out, Rodrick saw the whole thing and blew his secret 4-6 months later, and the story ended up changing to infiltrating the high school cheerleading locker room.
• Greg rips out certain pages of his diary, which can be seen in movies and games sometimes. In the first and
  

  A page ripped out of Greg's journal
   second Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies, you see pages which were never in the book, meaning Greg probably ripped them out.
• Considering Greg to be 11 in Diary of a Wimpy Kid (since he was in 6th grade), if the series is not timeless,Greg would be about 13 and almost 14(by The Long Haul, since it ends in June) but since Jeff Kinney said its timeless it is very unlikely. If considered 12 then he would be 14 (almost 15) .
