If you’ve been following the sneak peeks section of Daily Pop like we have, you’ve probably seen some familiar-looking drawings showing up. A lot of them look like they’re in the same style as the Diary of a Wimpy Kid book series. That shouldn’t be a surprise–one of the Poptropica creators is Jeff Kinney, who is also the author of those books. And in the Poptropica blog, there’s now a sneak peek image featuring the silhouette of Greg Heffley, the star of the books. The blog post says that there will be a guest star in the next Poptropica Island and that the official announcement is coming later this week.
We’ve already had one island based on a comic strip–Big Nate Island. Do you think Wimpy Kid Island is coming next?
This week, Greg Heffley, the lead character from Jeff Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, has been hanging out on Main Street on all of the islands. Earlier this week if you clicked on him, he would tell you to come back on Thursday to see the cover of the new book. Well it’s Thursday and now you can see it.
Find Greg on Main Street on any of the islands and click on him. A few seconds later, the book cover will appear. It looks like the latest book will be called, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth. Greg also tells you that the book comes out on November 9.
I like the book series but I was hoping that Poptropica would have done something a little more exciting than just have Greg standing around and showing off a book cover.
Greg shows off the cover of his new book in Poptropica.
