Greg Heffley's on a losing streak. His best friend, Rowley Jefferson, has ditched him, and finding new friends in middle school is proving to be a tough task. To change his fortunes, Greg decides to take a leap of faith and turn his decisions over to chance.

page 109 has a pic of the three heffley kids sitting at a table......... Roderick has no eyebrows. its a bit strange because he usually has VERY strong eyebrows. since this is the kindle version i cant do pictures in the review so i guess just take my word for it (p.s. i almost mistook Roderick for their gramma) lol ;-)

I bought this book for my grandson. He loves this series and can read like a wiz kid. Even though he can read to himself, he still likes me to read books to him. I think he likes me to read these books to him, because I laugh so much and especially at all the parts that make him laugh. It is one of my greatest pleasures.

I think this boom was really good. I didn't get how the family didn't find the egg with an earing in it though it was right there on a pile of logs in plain sight. Otherwise the book was really good. It is a really funny book that you would like if you like books about a middle schooler that has trouble but makes jokes about it. I liked the part were they were all blowing raspberries behind the dog, Sweetie, and when the dad does it the dog darts in his face. Overall this was a really good book that I hope you like because I liked it and I laughed at it a lot along the way. Well I'm just about out of room so goodbye

From the start, these books have been deteriorating. They've gotten quite stupid, actually. But I guess Jeff Kinney decided to get his act together. I got this book the morning it came out. I was so excited for it. I was laughing hysterically at the whole thing. Also, the pictures are absolutely hilarious! Usually the pictures just explain what's going on in the story. But these tools a story of their own! Also, the format on Kindle Fire was great. I liked it even better than in print form!

I would recommend this book to... anybody. And if you're not reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid anymore because it got bad and predictable, give this one a chance. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!

Greg and Rowley usually get into arguments a lot in the books then they come back to being best friends again. Well it's good that they've stopped that from the Long Haul to the Meltdown. (At least for now)

Lovely. Not quite as LOL. Matured a bit.

I love how the script is neater and more flowing. It's a little more serious and grown-up as Greg is a teen now.

He's stewing because his former best friend, Rod, dates the girl he'd wanted to go out with
(the idea Rod would win her had never occurred to him in the last book;
it came as a karmic shock). But now they're the favorite couple at school.
So cute, that for Greg, it's insult-to-injury.

A particularly funny bit is when he becomes the high school yearbook photographer.
Greg has adventures with photo-shop.

Son loves it

I feel so happy my 10 year old son loves reading the diary of a wimpy kid books. Seriously makes me smile watching him so engrossed into this book and laughing uncontrollably 😂😂.

We were on the tram 🚃 to school 🏫 and he was reading it whilst other adult commuters were watching him with his leg crossed, book 📕 opened and engrossed so much so he wasn’t concerned about the world going by him.

There were random outbursts of laughter from his little cheeky chubby face as he looked up at me smiled and went straight back in.

He gets off the tram with book still opened, reading it whilst I’m guiding him crossing the road to make his way to school. He gets to school looks up and around him and says “woah…how did we get here so fast!”

Amazing book that keeps children entertained and adult happy 😃 👍🏼👍🏼

When i read this book it was entertaining and comical. The only reason i havent given this a five star is because of the way greg acts.He acts like the world revolves around him and that people should be praising him.Personally i am appaled towards the way that greg acts to rowley and how greg is so self obsessed .Furthermore the book was a good read
