Jeff Kinney will embark on a global tour later this Autumn to promote the 10th book in his Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Old School will be released November 3 in the U.S. by Abrams’s Amulet Books imprint, triggering a tour that includes stops in 15 cities on five continents.

 

As part of the tour, a social media campaign is planned that will include videos documenting each stop, coordinated with all publisher partners. 

 

Stops on the tour include New York, U.S.; Boston, U.S.; Tokyo, Japan; Beijing, China; Sydney, Australia; Madrid, Spain; London, U.K.; Lisbon, Portugal; Frankfurt, Germany; Athens, Greece; Istanbul, Turkey; Bucharest, Romania; Amsterdam, the Netherlands; Riga, Latvia; and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

 

"I’m incredibly excited to be embarking on a global tour to celebrate the launch of my tenth book,” said Jeff Kinney. “One of the biggest surprises of my life is that kids from all over the world seem to relate to Greg Heffley and his comic struggles. What I’ve learned is that childhood itself is a universal condition that transcends culture and language.”
