Blog Post #3: Diary of a Wimpy Kid the Third Wheel by Jeff Kinney

The book I read was called Diary of a Wimpy Kid the Third Wheel by Jeff Kinney. It’s about a guy named Greg who is a teenager and is writing a journal about his family and school. The story mostly takes place in a school and his house. In the beginning, we learned that when Greg was little he got everything from his brother Rodrick as a hand me down. He didn’t like it because he didn’t like Rodrick’s style. As the story continues, readers find out that there is a school dance coming up and Greg is trying to get a girl to go to the dance with him. Then, Greg decides to send Valentine cards to a few girls asking them to go. Finally, he ends up going to dance with one of those girls.

I thought the most interesting part of the book was when Greg goes to the school dance because I didn’t know if he would have a girl to go with. Right before this, Greg takes a girl named Abigail to dinner and readers find out that they are going to the dance together. Then, while they are at the dance Abigail talks to her friends instead of hanging out with Greg. I thought this was interesting because it seems like Abigail doesn’t like Greg but at the end they slow dance.
