The highly anticipated third book in the critically acclaimed and bestselling series takes the art of being wimpy to a whole new level. Let’s face it: Greg Heffley will never change his wimpy ways. Somebody just needs to explain that to Greg’s father. You see, Frank Heffley actually thinks he can get his son to toughen up, and he enlists Greg in organized sports and other “manly” endeavors. Of course, Greg is able to easily sidestep his father’s efforts to change him. But when Greg’s dad threatens to send him to military academy, Greg realizes he has to shape up . . . or get shipped out. Greg and his family and friends, who make the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books a must-read for middle school readers, are back and at their best in this hilarious new installment of the series, which is sure to please current fans while attracting new ones.

I work with a 5th grader who tgsurgles a lot with reading bc of attention difficulties. He is reading one of the Wimpy Kid books and just like your kiddos, it really sparked his interest. He is otherwise completely uninspired to read but he does like this series. As a teacher, I am ok with kids reading texts that are not “great literature” because reading is reading. My husband is the same way. He has dyslexia and would never sit and read a book, yet he does read magazines, sports articles, and news websites…his comprehension is excellent and he is really smart. As long as you are discussing the aspects of the characters that don’t show good qualities etc. I think it’s great that you kiddos have found something they really like to read. Have you ever tried the Fudge series? Funny characters but they are Judy Blume and she is a more streamlined author….
