Jeff Kinney's 8th book of this hilarious and highly successful series, and Greg Heffley and his friends now have a whole new set of adventures.
Greg Heffley's on a losing streak. His best friend, Rowley Jefferson, has ditched him, and finding new friends in middle school is proving to be a tough task. To change his fortunes, Greg decides to take a leap of faith and turn his decisions over to chance. Will a roll of the dice turn things around, or is Greg's life destined to be just another hard-luck story?

      Is Greg Heffleyâs self-absorption catching up with him? Maybe so, since he spends much of the eighth book in Kinneyâs bestselling Diary of a Wimpy Kid series bemoaning his lack of friends. Rowley, his former right-hand man/doormat, is occupied with his new girlfriend, and Greg is so desperate for companionship that he even tries befriending class weirdo Fregley. âI could mold him into exactly the kind of friend I wanted,â says Greg, whoâs basically looking for someone to lug his schoolbooks around and âscout ahead for dog poopâ on the sidewalk. Clashes with Gregâs extended family also figure in, as does Gregâs discovery of a Magic 8-Ball. Kinney once again gets in plenty of funny jabs at pop culture and everyday kid life, from poster board science fair projects (âDoes It Float?â) to Gregâs rediscovery of his flannel âBody Blankie,â which, while supremely comfortable, proves to be a liability during gym class. With Kinney sticking to the same school- and family-based brand of situational humor that made the previous books so popular, his legions of fans will likely devour this eighth offering as well. Ages 8â12. Agent: Sylvie Rabineau, RWSG Literary Agency.
