Jeff Kinney live in Speyer: Germany's children's book star celebrates volume 20!

There is great anticipation in Speyer! Popular children's author Jeff Kinney, known for the successful "Greg's Diary" series, is coming to town. The reason for his visit is the publication of the 20th volume entitled “Greg's Diary 20 - Want to Party?”, which will be published on November 18, 2025. Kinney will present a highly anticipated interactive stage show celebrating the stories of Greg and his chaotic adventures at the Palatinate Historical Museum on Saturday, November 22, 2025 at 4 p.m. According to Treffpunkt Pfalz, the show will last 60 minutes and will be moderated in German by the editor of “ZEIT LEO”, Katrin Hörnlein.

The new story is about Greg's birthday and his plans for a big celebration, which quickly becomes chaotic. “In the mood for a party?” promises not only an entertaining stage show, but also the opportunity to celebrate with Kinney and take a behind-the-scenes look at his beloved stories. Tickets for the event cost ten euros and are available both at the museum box office and online.

Successful author on tour

Jeff Kinney, who has been in the spotlight since the publication of the first “Greg's Diary” in 2008, is now one of the most successful children's book authors in the world. His books have sold over 300 million copies, including more than 20 million copies in Germany alone. [Ludwigshafen24].

After the presentation in Speyer, Kinney will also visit a German school to present his new book and present a book donation there. On the evening of the following day, November 23rd, the stage show will continue at the Colosseum Filmtheater in Berlin. The printing of the new book could prove to be a solid success and provide an unforgettable experience for its large fan base.

A look into the book world

The Greg's Diary series has delighted generations of children, not only introducing them to reading but also inspiring them to write. Kinney, who lives near Washington, D.C. grew up and runs a bookstore in New England with his wife, has a good knack for portraying life from the perspective of adolescents through his vivid and humorous narrative style.

Fans excited about the show should note that signed copies of the new book will only be available before and after the event. Books brought with you cannot be signed, which will only increase the anticipation of the fresh copy.
