Suzanne asked Jeff Kinney:

(Typing on behalf of my 9-year old son, Michael) I have a big brother (Tom - he's 12) and I really like how you write from the perspective of a younger brother. (Note from Mom - he really said this!) How did you choose the name Greg for the main character? And are you the big brother or the younger brother in your family?

Jeff Kinney I was the middle child in my family, so I know what it's like to have a Manny and a Rodrick living with you. And when I got older, I became the Rodrick.
