I Might Be Too Old for This, but I Certainly Don't Feel Like It

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Third Wheel...

I will read all these books by Jeff Kinney. It's hilarious and I'll never stop reading it. Is it my favorite series? No. That's The Hunger Games. But in the story, reading about Greg Heffley (the protagonist) makes you realize how smart you are a person. It's a sweet ambition, and I'm pretty sure me and everyone else has this too, Greg wants to grow up and be famous. He believes it too. But he says it like if you can just clap your hand, then you can be famous. You actually have to run a few miles to be famous, everyone knows that. Meanwhile, Greg justs sits back, acts lazy, fails, and keeps going on with his middle school obsessions.

In the Third Wheel, there's a Valentine's Day Dance at his school, and he wants a date. He tries really stupid and pointless things to get one, but at the end, he's stuck going to the dance as part of a group. His group includes a girl named Abigail Brown, his best friend Rowley, and himself. But Greg keeps failing at his chances with Abigail. Instead, Abigail starts paying more attention to Rowley.

I won't say more except Greg has an okay ending for himself. After all, he is a wimpy kid.
