urban neighborhood.
Point <strong>of</strong> View<br />

because Greg is telling it as he writes it in his<br />
diary.
<strong>The</strong>me<br />
• <strong>The</strong> theme is life has many surprises and you<br />
just have to go with the flow and take it as it<br />
comes.
Book talk<br />
• Greg Heffely is a wimpy kid who faces some<br />
hilarious obstacles, like an embarrassing<br />
mother, a bully as an older brother, a dad<br />
threatening to send him to the Spag Union<br />
Military school if he does not toughen up, and<br />
a tattletale for a little brother. This hilarious<br />
book written by Jeff Kinney is filled with<br />
humor, suspense and other funny things, but<br />
to get the full effect <strong>of</strong> the book you need to<br />
read it yourself!!!!!!!!!!
Book Review<br />
• This is a great book for anyone who wants to<br />
laugh until they cry! I love this book because<br />
Greg’s story could relate to many peoples life,<br />
so in my opinion this is more than just a<br />
funny story, it is kind <strong>of</strong> based on a middle<br />
school kids life.
