Greg records his sixth grade experiences in a middle school where he and his best friend, Rowley, undersized weaklings amid boys who need to shave twice daily, hope just to survive, but when Rowley grows more popular, Greg must take drastic measures to save their friendship.
I really wish I had read this as a kid, I think I would have had a better reaction. As it is, I just kind of sat there and kept raising my eyebrows. "Really? Is that how kids are?"
The illustrations were pretty amusing though, and definitely what took this from a 2-star to a 3-star. Maybe at 8 or 9 years old, I would have enjoyed the rest of the book.
