Book #3 in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series
Greg must toughen up or face military school. Can he avoid his dad's plans?
Greg Heffley is in a bind. His father is determined to toughen him up, pushing him into sports and other activities. But Greg's wimpy ways are hard to shake. When the threat of military school looms, Greg must decide whether to change or find a clever way out. Will he rise to the challenge or find a way to stay true to himself? This hilarious adventure explores the lengths one boy will go to avoid growing up too fast, keeping readers laughing and guessing at every turn.
Let’s face it: Greg Heffley will never change his wimpy ways. Somebody just needs to explain that to Greg’s father. You see, Frank Heffley actually thinks he can get his son to toughen up, and he enlists Greg in organized sports and other “manly” endeavors. Of course, Greg is able to easily sidestep his father’s efforts to change him. But when Greg’s dad threatens to send him to military academy, Greg realizes he has to shape up . . . or get shipped out.
Greg and his family and friends, who make the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books a must-read for middle school readers, are back and at their best in this hilarious new installment of the series, which is sure to please current fans while attracting new ones.
