Greg would love nothing better than to spend his summer inside the house. Especially since his parents have decided they can't afford to go to the beach this summer. Greg's mother on the other hand wants him outside. She comes up with all kinds of activities. She tries a book club and Greg ends up being the only one in it. He keeps getting in trouble with the parents of his best friend Rowley. It seems like the more Greg tries to have fun his way the more trouble finds him. Once again Jeff Kinney has created a book that the kids love. I actually had to purchase two copies so that I could read one of them. I had a deadline though since I have three other student names on the list to read it next. I definitely recommend the Diary of a Wimpy Kid Series to my students. The funny thing is I probably would not have picked it out. My dyslexic husband was with me at a book store when he saw it and told me if they'd had books like that when he was young and struggling he probably would have read more. I am so glad he was there to recommend it. I can't keep them on my shelves. ( )

it's awesome ( )

This book is really funny because of all of the things that happen to Greg and his friends and family. ( )

These books make me laugh out loud. This one is about summer vacation. As usual the drawings add a lot to the humor. ( )

I don't think Dog Days quite lived up to the original, but it was still fun and very enjoyable. Greg is trying to figure out how to do nothing but sit inside and play video games all summer, but his mother has other ideas. As usual, family and friends give him plenty to write about in his diary. Fans of the series will not want to miss this - definitely looking forward to whatever Kinney decides to tackle next. ( )
