Greg Heffley's dad threatens to send him to military school, and he promises to better himself, even though dad isn't setting the best example since he can't seem to stick with his own new year's resolutions! (DIET!) Greg is doing just fine with his new years resolution though, and starts helping people by first telling his mother that she should chew more quietly, and then telling a classmate that he smells.
My favorite part of the book is reading about Greg's dad who is absolutely dreading the neighborly get-together where everyone tries to be funny for the camera to get onto 'American's Funniest Videos'. Greg ends up helping his dad out, but in my book, is as wimpy as ever! Maybe one day if he changes his attitude, girls will like him instead of his sincere, but helplessly dorky best friend Rowley.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0810970686, Hardcover)

The highly anticipated third book in the critically acclaimed and bestselling series takes the art of being wimpy to a whole new level.

 

Let’s face it: Greg Heffley will never change his wimpy ways. Somebody just needs to explain that to Greg’s father. You see, Frank Heffley actually thinks he can get his son to toughen up, and he enlists Greg in organized sports and other “manly” endeavors. Of course, Greg is able to easily sidestep his father’s efforts to change him. But when Greg’s dad threatens to send him to military academy, Greg realizes he has to shape up . . . or get shipped out.

 

Greg and his family and friends, who make the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books a must-read for middle school readers, are back and at their best in this hilarious new installment of the series, which is sure to please current fans while attracting new ones.
