  3. Adrian

  4. samirae

    SWEEEET Thanks!! I got one. I bought it at Target weeks ago for $7 but it is sitting in a box for Christmas so I will be returning it when this one arrives. 🙂

  5. yvonne

    Thank you got one.

    if you don’t want it, this is a great book to buy for $1.99 if you have prime and donate to your child’s school library. I am a school librarian and these books are constantly checked out–and since it’s hardback its perfect for the library!

  8. Nicole

    It’s showing $7 something for me…

  9. Chelle

    It shows $1.99, but once I get to checkout it says $7.24 so maybe it’s sold out? I went back and tried again and got the same thing happening.

    • Bianca

      Same here 🙁

    • emilytwinmom

      It’ll show a discount when you get to final checkout, same thing happened to me until I got to the last checkout screen then it was a “lightning discount” of $5.25 or something.

    • jadybuzz

      yes, it will show you have $5.25 promotional discount on towards the final checkout page!

  10. Nicole

    Okay it gives you a credit of $5 keep going through the checkout process.

    • Chelle

      You are right. That was confusing if you didn’t know about the credit.

  11. dubois420

  12. Heather

    I tried to buy this at Target last night (for the GC deal) but they were sold out. This is a MUCH better deal! Thank you SO MUCH!

  14. Suszy

    Cool!! Thanks 😄

  15. sherry

    i hope target will let me exchange books, i bought 4 yesterday because there is a $5 gc deal when you buy 2, and this was one of them i bought, so i hope they will let me exchange it for one he doesnt have yet.

  16. reneecamello

    Thanks! Got it

  17. Jen

    Got one! Thanks! Perfect for the family we adopted this year!

  18. Siu

    Yay!! Thank You! My son loves these books!!

  19. Thia

    Awesome!! I’m adding this in my son’s pj set for christmas!!

  20. emilytwinmom

    Thank you so much for this! I got one and finally broke down and got the massage chair my son has wanted for so long – it was on sale too, and free shipping to boot! YAY! Thanks 🙂

  21. jennifer

    My son is soooo into this series, this will be a great stocking stuffer! Thanks!!!

  22. Jenny

    Yeah! I got one! I have been missing these deals so I am so glad to finally get one in time! My daughter was just drooling over these books at Target!!

  23. Cathy

    Thank you! I purchased this book on Amazon Prime for $7.88 about 2 weeks ago. I put in a return request with the reason being their Lightning Price is $1.99 and they replied that they will refund my $7.88 and I can keep the book without returning it. Yippee!

    • Erica

      I also bought this book two weeks ago for $7.25. How did you request the difference?

      • Cathy

        I just requested a return so I could purchase it at $1.99 (put that as my reason for return) and Amazon automatically said to keep the book and they’ll refund my $7.88.

        • loreanne

          THANK YOU CATHY!!!!!!!

    • Leslie

      Thank you!!! I also got a refund. You are so helpful to take time to post this. I went to my orders and requested a return because of the Amazon Lightning Deal of $1.99. If you keep pressing continue, the last screen will tell you a return is not necessary, and a refund is being processed.

      • Letty

        So I just did that and said the return is not necessary but I am receiving the refund. So do I still have to rebuy it at $1.99? What do I do?

    • Maureen

      Thank you for posting this. I bought my son a copy almost a month ago, but they are processing a refund for the difference for me. I just ordered a second copy for his school library, too.

    • Cathy

      Yay! So glad others are following suit. 🙂

      If you already have the book, you don’t need to repurchase it at $1.99. The original price you paid should be credited to your account shortly. My account still shows “Processing” BTW.

      Happy Holidays and Hooray for free books!!! 🙂

    • Asmith

      Thank you for tip and I did the same thing I had ordered last week and they said same thing no need to return will put 6.00 on purchase card.

      • Kristy

        Thanks Cathy! I just did the same thing!!!

        • LisaR

          i did this with a DVD set that went on Goldbox deal the next day!! And they refunded me $10.97!! I am soo loving Amazon!! Boy has Amazon Prime payed for it self!!

    • Brandy

      Thanks, I had pre-ordered it before it came out in November and they are also giving me a refund of the difference!

  24. Christina C

    Thank you Thank you Thank you., My son was just going to buy this the other day with his Birthday money for 9.00. I told him to hold onto his money and I would see if I could find it cheaper used. WOW. I am so happy never thought that I would get it for less than 2.00. This made my day and I am sure that it is going to make his. So thank you

  25. Michele

    Thanks so much. This was the only book we didn’t have yet. I have been waiting for a good sale.

  26. Joanie

    Yay! So glad I waited to get this for my son!

  27. Stacey

    What age are these books for?

  28. Amanda K

    Price just went up to $7.24

    • Amanda K

      Ok it still SAYS 1.99 but when you check out it tries to charge the $7 price..hmmm

  29. JustD

  30. Lori C

    Thank you so much for the heads up! my son is going to be so excited, and I am grateful to have been able to buy it for only $1.99!!

  31. Nancy

    AWESOME DEAL! My son loves the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books and does not have this one. It will be perfect and for the price, well, Santa, looks like Mommy has this one covered. 🙂

  32. chandra

    Thanks. I was able to price match at Target and scored it for $1.99 plus tax. 🙂

  33. rita

    I price matched 3 at Target

  34. Sue

    THANK YOU!!!

  35. Lisa

    Target price matches Amazon? I got one on Amazon. Thanks.

  36. melissa

    Can someone explain why my invoice still says 7.24 even after check out?? It said 1.99 when i went to purchase but my email says differently? Im confused : )

    • cassiesoren

      The listed price was showing the $7 price so I refreshed the page and the lightning deal price came up so I got it for the $1.99. Hope this helps!

  37. chrissybozz
