I read this book because it interesting and fells like real life moments.this story is about a boy greg heffy has always been in hurry to grow up.but is getting older really all it cracked up to be?. suddenly greg is dealing with with the pressure of boy ans girls parties.i am reading it and I am loving it and I laughed at some partsThe series isn’t as fresh and irreverent as it used to be, but the awkwardness of middle school always offers some laughs - especially when you throw in hitting puberty. Most of the tales strewn together here are ones kids can relate to or are gearing up to face. Occasionally Kinney misses the mark, though, like when he talks about Greg’s uncle’s fifth wedding. But overall, kids will be laughing as usual. Seeing Greg decked out in head gear and Rowley showing off his giant zit is pretty funny stuff.
