To promote "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth" -- book five in the hugely popular series -- the official 2010 Ice-Treat Truck Bookstore Tour is headed to Baltimore.
Tomorrow, Aug. 17, the treat truck is scheduled to make two stops in the area. At noon, it will be at the Ellicott City Barnes & Noble, in the Long Gate Shopping Center 4300 Montgomery Road. At 4 p.m. it will stop at the The Children's Bookstore, 737 Deepdene Road in Roland Park. You can stop by from 4 to 5:30 p.m. (If you don't live in the Baltimore area, here's the complete U.S. schedule for the truck tour.)
Book five in the series featuring middle schooler Greg Heffley comes out Nov. 9, and is likely to quickly jump into the best-seller ranks. The first Wimpy Kid book was published in 2007; now more than 35 million are in print in the U.S. And as you know, the Wimpy Kid series is written by University of Maryland alum Jeff Kinney, so toast the Terp with your popsicle or other treat!
