This is the fourth book in a series of realistic fictional stories by Jeff Kinney. It is written about the daily humorous life events that a goofy middle school boy named Greg Heffley goes through. It is summer vacation and Greg is happy, unfortunately, his family needs to save money and they can't go on any trips or day trips and he and his mother have different ideas on how Greg should spend his vacation.
All Greg wants to do is stay in his room with the shades pulled and play video games, but his mom has other ideas for him. She gets him into a book club. After a while everyone leaves the book club including Greg's best friend Rowley. Then, one day Mr. Jefferson, Rowley's father, knocks on the door of Greg's house, he says that Greg and Rowley spent eighty-three dollars on smoothies, that they thought were free at the country club. To pay off the debt Greg and Rowley create a mowing service but, it doesn't go over too well. Rowley ends up leaving him and Greg ends up losing his one and only customer to a botched mowing job. His plans never seem to turn out the way he wants them too.
I really liked the character Greg because he is always so miserable and it becomes so funny to constantly hear about all his bad luck, like the night he invited Rowley for a fun sleep over and they ended up sleeping in the bathroom all night because they were terrified after they watched a movie they weren't suppose to.
If you would like to read about a self centered middle school kid and his constant series of misfortunes, you'll really get in to this book. So, read the book. What are you waiting for?
