Amulet Books, an imprint of Abrams, has revealed the new cover for the 10th installment of Kinney’s Wimpy Kid series,Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Old School. During a live webcast with more than 500,000 worldwide viewers, Kinney showed the new cover for the book, which releases November 3 in a worldwide on-sale date across 16 countries.


The book follows protagonist Greg Heffley on a week long field trip to a farm, where he navigates the age gap between the kids and their chaperones. For Kinney, the bold black cover takes the series in a different direction: “For the 10th book, I wanted to bring things back to basics, and nothing says ‘Old School’ for a cartoonist more than black, the color of ink,” he said in a release.
To support the global release event, which Abrams hopes will make this “the biggest book and book event of the year, not just in North America but around the world,” said Michael Jacobs, president and CEO of Abrams, Kinney will head out on an around-the-world tour, a first for the series.
