The fourteenth laugh-out-loud, fully-illustrated Diary of a Wimpy Kid book from #1 international bestselling author Jeff Kinney ! A global phenomenon with 250 million copies of the series sold worldwide! On the internet, there has been debate regarding Greg's traits and behavior displaying sociopathic tendencies. According to the video " The Dark Truth of Diary of a Wimpy Kid", Greg has a total of 12 out of 13 traits. But Kinney has stated that Greg is more of an "Anti-Hero" than a sociopath. [5] Greg also shows hints of the 13th trait (A promiscuous nature) by being rather girl crazy at times, but obviously can’t display this trait to its full potential due to being from a children’s book series. This has caused people to believe he is a pervert/or a simp.

When the dust finally settles, will the Heffleys be able to stay . . . or will they need to get out of town? When Mr. Healey talks about Frankie, it can be noticed that Greg's drawing of him is similar to how he draws Frank, which could be a foreshadowing to the reveal that Frank invented Silas Scratch.

Overall, it was a good book. My favorite in the series was the ninth one. I told my brother about my problems with this book but he just laughed. Maybe it's because he is obsessed with this series xD For one thing, his best friend Rowley has a GIRLFRIEND, so now Greg is in the market for a new best friend. But after he's spent so long training him to be the perfect best friend, finding a 'new Rowley' won't be easy.

Will it be possible for Gregory to have a normal life with everyone around him getting on his nerves and making things a way too weird for him!! The trouble is this version of paradise turns out to include sun poisoning, stomach troubles and venomous creatures.

Did we miss something on diversity?

In No Brainer, book 18 of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series from #1 international bestselling author Jeff Kinney, it's up to Greg to save his school before it's shuttered for good. Perfect for readers of 8+ and also reluctant readers. You can also discover Greg on the big screen in any one of the three Wimpy Kid Movie box office smashes. As if that's not scary enough, Halloween's just around the corner and the frights are coming at Greg from every angle. The joke where Greg goes to Film Camp could possibly be a reference to the Animation Age Ghetto. However, it isn't specified whether the films were live-action or just animation. In the movie, Greg led us on an emotional roller-coaster ride throughout the film: first we liked him, then we hated him, then we felt sorry for him, then we loved him. His relationship with his best friend Rowley along with its ups and downs (hey, just like real life) was great for kids to see. For adults, it would remind us of the "real" friendships we had (from simpler times) in those early Jr. High School years. Before computers we had real "live" friendships and we really did go over to our friends' houses to "play".
