In Diper Överlöde, book 17 of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series from #1 international bestselling author Jeff Kinney, Greg Heffley is finding out that the road to fame and glory comes with some hard knocks.

When he decides to tag along with his brother Rodrick's band, Löded Diper, Greg doesn't realize what he's getting into. But he soon learns that late nights, unpaid gigs, fighting between band members, and money troubles are all part of the rock 'n' roll lifestyle.

Can Greg help Löded Diper become the legends they think they are? Or will too much time with Rodrick's band be a diper överlöde?

Reviews

Forrest Gump is line bred out of Voltaire and Huck Finn; its humour is wild and coarse, a satire right on the money. It is not the less honest for being so funny, for bringing the woebegone archangels of our culture and history to judgement. Anyone who doesn't read this book deserves to spend the winter in North Dakota

—— Jim Harrison

A superbly controlled satire

—— The Washington Post

Rollicking, bawdy... A good time... Poking fun at everything

—— People

Winston Groom has created the ideal citizen for the modern world - a perfect idiot

—— P.J. O'Rourke

Joyously madcap

—— Publishers Weekly

Part Candide, part Huck Finn and a whole lot of Andy Griffith, [Gump] makes his case in a voice all his own

—— Los Angeles Times

Has many pleasures to offer
