If you have a school-aged child, chances are you are familiar with the “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” book series. These popular chapter books by author Jeff Kinney chronicle the adventures and mishaps of the beloved main character, Greg Heffley. What you may not know, however, is that Jeff Kenney and his wife, Julie, own an independent bookstore in the little town of Plainville, Massachusetts. An Unlikely Story is a fabulous place to spend an afternoon shopping for books, meeting up with a friend for lunch, or sitting and relaxing with a good book and a great cup of coffee.

An Unlikely Story is housed in a beautiful, historic building that was once a general store. The bookstore has a great selection of books, a gift section, and even a cafe.
