About the book: 2017 / Let's be honest: Greg Haffley was and will remain a weakling. But someone has to explain this to Greg's father! The whole point is that Frank Heffley imagined that his son could become a great athlete, and enrolled him in all the sections where they would make a real man out of him. Greg avoids classes in every possible way, but it all ends with his father threatening to send him to a military school. What to do? What is the last straw to grab onto to avoid summer camp drills??..
