NEWS RELEASES > JULY 15, 2025
McHenry, Ill., Jul. 15, 2025 – In a bold move to support literacy and equity in schools, Follett Content is launching an exclusive preorder promotion for two of the most anticipated titles in children’s literature: Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Partypooper (releasing October 21) and Dog Man: Big Jim Believes (releasing November 11). These cultural touchstones will be available at special discounted pricing for schools and libraries that preorder through Follett Content.
In a time when school budgets are stretched thin and student engagement is more critical than ever; Follett Content is helping educators meet demand for the books students love most.
Jeff Kinney’s Partypooper – the 20th installment in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series – explores identity, friendship, and the awkward, unforgettable moments that shape growing up.
Dav Pilkey’s Big Jim Believers continues the Dog Man legacy with book 14, and a story about belief – in oneself, in others, and in the power of doing good.
“These books resonate because they reflect the lives of the students,” said Britten Follett, CEO at Follett Content. “They’re accessible, engaging, and deeply human. And we believe every child deserve access to stories that make them feel seen, understood, and inspired.”
Preorder Details:
Educators and school librarians are encouraged to place their orders early to take full advantage of the promotion and ensure timely delivery for their readers.
Discounted pricing is available only for preorders placed through Follett Content. For more information or to place a pre-order, visit titlewave.com or contact your Follett Content representative.
