Kinney's style is unique because the main character Greg is also the narrator for the story as well. The reader is able to experience Greg's everyday life struggles at school and at home. Many young readers are able to connect with Greg because they encounter some of the same challenges. This book can be use to teach author's point of view because Greg is a character who narrates the story. Here is the link to the book trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iYerZHvaBg
