Series: Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Greg Heffley is back and complaining about his life a loudly as ever. Greg is not happy that he now has to walk a quarter mile to school instead of taking the bus. After the New Year Greg is bragging and ends up having to do his own laundry, but he gets around that by wearing his Christmas presents. In April, he finally has to start wearing some of his less dirty clothes. Greg’s father is also trying to make him less wimpy by enrolling him in soccer and boy scouts, but Greg finds ways around that. Then, his dad enrolls him in military school for summer vacation. How will Greg get out of this? This installment in the series is as funny as the previous as Greg immerses himself in his own selfishness. I hope that kids do not think that all of Greg Heffley’s antics are acceptable and do not try to emulate him.
