How can Greg make it through this new school year with his not-quite-cool reputation intact?Įven reluctant readers of 7+ will love diving into Greg's world, and reading about his exploits in his diary (sorry, journal!). It's a brand-new year, with a brand-new journal and Greg is keen to put the humiliating (and secret!) events of last summer firmly behind him.īut someone knows everything - someone whose job it is to most definitely not keep anything embarrassing of Greg's private - his big brother, Rodrick.


Whatever you do, don't ask Greg about his summer vacation because he definitely doesn't want to talk about it! Smalls treats the material without pretense, leaving it guileless and thus accessible to readers. But don't even get me started on THAT story. After a snack, they work their way homeward, racing each other, doing a dance step or two, then Dad takes my hand and slows down./I understand, and we slow down./It’s a long, long walk./We have a quiet talk and smile. Rodrick actually got a hold of my LAST journal a few weeks back, and it was a disaster. As you can guess, it doesn't work out too well. In the second book of Jeff Kinney's bestselling series, team up with Greg Heffley once again, this time to try and take on his big brother.
