The hilarious te reo Māori translation of the second book in Jeff Kinney's bestselling Wimpy Kid series, TE RATAKA a Tama Hungoingoi (2) Ko Rodrick kei Runga, continues the side-splitting adventures of Greg Heffley as he navigates the trials and tribulations of middle school.

Whatever you do, don't ask Greg how he spent his summer holidays, because he definitely doesn't want to talk about it. As Greg begins the new school year, he's eager to put the past three months behind him, especially one particularly embarrassing incident that he's desperate to keep under wraps.

Unfortunately for Greg, his older brother Rodrick knows all about it. And when it comes to siblings, secrets have a way of getting out... especially when there’s a diary involved. Greg faces one embarrassing ordeal after another with Rodrick constantly threatening to reveal his secret, making Greg’s life even more complicated and humiliating.

Heni Jacob's uproarious translation of Rodrick Rules, the second book in Jeff Kinney's wildly popular Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, introduces the twelve-year-old hero, Tama Hungoingoi (Wimpy Kid) Greg Heffley, to young readers in the original language of Aotearoa New Zealand, te reo Māori.

A marvel in any language, Ko Rodrick kei Runga is filled with laughter, gags, disasters, and daydreams, providing endless enjoyment. Greg's misadventures, woven together with his humorous observations on family life and school, make for a universally relatable and entertaining read.

Young readers will be kept hooked to the very end, eagerly turning pages to see how Greg manages to navigate the challenges thrown at him by school, parents, and, most annoyingly, his brother Rodrick. Whether you are familiar with the series or new to Greg Heffley's world, this te reo Māori edition offers a fresh, engaging experience for all.
