What's a similar book series to Diary of a Wimpy Kid that isn't terrible? (lemmy.nz)

I've got a (9 yr old) kid that loves the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. But it's terrible. The main character is a terrible friend, and a poor role model. The character frequently calls people stupid or morons, makes fun of kids outside the norm, and has weird 90s views of how boys and girls interact.

Can anyone suggest a series that their kid enjoyed for a similar audience? Even better if there are lots of them.

She meant series, as in books, I think - She is talking about books and wants similar book, The protagonist of the book she is talking about is straight up a sociopath lol.

That makes more sense, especially since there are some Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies but no TV show. Thanks 😅
