![]() ![]() If you’re a fan of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, you already know there is a movie and you’ve probably already seen it. The Wimpy Kid Movie Diary: How Greg Heffley Went Hollywood Welcome to the Dog Days of summer, Wimpy Kid style. Birthday gifts are never what you want and the community pool is full of scary images. ![]() To make matters worse, Mom cancels the family vacation since money is tight. (How do you start those things?) And why don’t people understand that Greg just doesn’t do poo? Gramma won’t be a reference for Greg but surely she won’t care if they use her lawnmower, since Greg doesn’t have any equipment. Jefferson hadn’t banned them from printing their flyers on his computer and if the yellow pages didn’t charge thousands of dollars for advertising. Greg hatches a plan to start a lawn business (VIP Lawn Care). Jefferson receives the $83 bill and demands Greg and Rowley pay it back (WHAT!). Thankfully Rowley’s dad is a member of the country club, where the boys can hang out by the pool and drink fruit smoothies by the dozen. However, Mom and Dad don’t seem to understand and think he should spend more time outside. Summer is here again and Greg has big plans which include a lot of sleeping and playing videogames. ![]() How far will Greg be willing to go (soccer, Boy Scouts) in order to save a perfect summer vacation? (Thanks to Uncle Charlie’s gift of a laundry hoop, Greg is now responsible for washing his own clothing-how many times can you wear something without being referred to the nurse for a lecture on hygiene?) The Last Straw of this less than perfect start to the year would have to be impressing Dad into not making him attend to Spag Union (AKA Military Academy). Greg has his eye on Holly Hills, but hasn’t figured out a way to get her attention… He’s pretty sure his diminishing wardrobe isn’t helping. The new TV lineup as well as an after school nap routine (what teenager isn’t tired after working that hard all day?) leaves no time for homework. A snack thief is on the loose in the Heffley house and without that extra sugary boost in his lunch (plus the extra exercise from walking to school), Greg keeps falling asleep in class. In other less than perfect news, the bus stop has been rezoned so now Greg and Rowley must walk to school. Why fix yourself when you are just about perfect!?! But he has resolved to help others in their quest for self-improvement. It’s a New Year and Greg isn’t making any resolutions. Will the parents find out and if so, is there any sort of punishment that could make Rodrick finally leave Greg alone? Welcome to another addition of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Rodrick locks Greg in the basement but then threatens him to secrecy. His parents decide to leave he and Rodrick alone for the night and Rodrick throws a huge party. So what else is new! Well, Greg still has the Cheese Touch from the end of last school year and he’s got to find someone to give it to. He also knows a secret from the summer that could ruin Greg’s life forever. Rodrick is in high school and loves to bully Greg. Greg has two brothers, Rodrick and Manny. His dad would rather be hiding out in the basement working on his model-size Civil War battle replica than watching chick-flicks with Mom. Mom is a preschool teacher who thinks any problem can be solved by talking it out and drawing pictures. ![]() He’s decided to continue his journaling, although he has a few secrets that aren’t even safe enough for the journal to keep. Greg is back for another year of middle school. And it has great cartoon illustrations and a plan for a spectacularly spooky Halloween haunted house. It was his mom’s idea, but will come in handy when he’s older, rich and famous. Will this year be all the Greg imagines it will be or will it be just another year in the life of Greg Heffley, the self-proclaimed wimpy kid?īy the way, he specifically told his mom to buy a JOURNAL not a DIARY, so don’t get the wrong idea. He’d like to be more popular, right now he’s ranked about 52nd or 53rd more muscular, so he wouldn’t have to wrestle Fregley-the weirdest and 2nd lightest kid in class not be embarrassed by his family during the school play, which Mom made him tryout for and get the new “Twisted Wizard” videogame for Christmas. Greg Heffley just started middle school and he’d like this year to be different from the past. Since book 8, Hard Luck, was just released, it seems like a fitting time to review the series for those who need a refresher or who haven’t yet read them.ĭiary of a Wimpy Kid: Greg Heffley’s journal by Jeff Kinney Natrona County Library Serving Natrona County, Wyoming, we promote literacy, support discovery and creation, and build community. ![]()
