What's Abigail Reading? Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days

This week, Abigail is taking a cue from her brother and reading a Wimpy Kid book. She's going to tell us all about Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days by Jeff Kinney.

Here's what Abigail says the book is about.

"The book is about a boy named Greg. Greg and his family go to the town beach to swim. When Greg gets called into the pool by his baby brother he finds out that he doesn't want to go into the pool because it was to crowded and that his baby brother peed in the pool. Then his dad wanted to have quality time together so they did all kinds of fun stuff like going fishing, joining a camp, and join the army.

''Then Rowley invites Greg to come with him to the beach. On the way they sing one hundred bottles on the wall.  Then they finally got to the little cottage. When they got all settled they played a game called 'I love you because'. Then Greg begged to go to the boardwalk but they said no then finally they said that they could go for a couple of hours. Then when they get back it was time to go to bed. When Greg saw that Mr. Jefferson went to use the bathroom he quietly sent a message to his mom. When Greg gets home he gets a call from Rowley saying he can't get invited to country club anymore because of what happened. Then Greg got his big brother to play at Heather Hill's party."

What's Christian Reading? Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Third Wheel

Christmas has come and gone, and I hope you all had a great holiday. I did, and so did Christian. He received a couple of books as well as a Kindle Fire, so he's in reading heaven. This week, he's going to tell us a little bit about one of the books he received, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Third Wheel, by Jeff Kinney. Let's see what he thought.

Here's what Christian says the book is about.

"The book is about this kid named Greg Heffly. He has to find a date for a Valentine's Day dance. He is having trouble because he's not that popular with the ladies. All the girls are fair game except for the really popular ones and the weird ones. The ones in the middle section of popularity are all good. He does have his eye on one girl that is super popular, Holly Hills, the most popular girl in school.

"Maybe they will get together and go to the dance or they will go with different people. Greg doesn't have his eye set on only Holly though. He wants any girl he can get. The only girl he doesn't want though is Ruby Bird, the weirdest girl in the school.

"Unlike most people Greg remembers every moment of his life, starting from when he was in his mom's stomach. He says it was a good place to be except for the fact that when his mother talked he could hear anything she said. Greg could do whatever he wanted."

What does Christian like about the book?

"I liked the part when Greg has to sell chocolate bars for a school fund raiser and he eats them all."

Was there anything that Christian did not like about the book?

Nothing,  I liked it all.
