In the sixteenth installment to the iconic series, Greg is set on becoming an all-star. With a high-stakes Field Day quickly approaching, Greg needs to step up his game- literally. With all this sporty spirit in the air, Greg's mom encourages Greg to try basketball. Will Greg emerge as a big shot? Or will he perpetually warm the bench? Read this hilarious journal-style novel to figure it out! Once again, Kinney returns with our beloved anti-hero. He weaves humor rarely found in the middle-grade set into his simplistic yet elaborate works. A few gripes: Manny's favorite show, previously called The Snurples, was titled The Murples, and the outcome of the Heffley's moving misadventures still remains a mystery. However, this was a light and charming read. New and longtime fans alike will get a kick out of the new Wimpy Kid book!

So excited!!! New book!!!😍 🤩 🥳
