Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Third Wheel reader's response by Alicea Mendez

                     The book Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Third Wheel is about a kid named Greg Heffley (do I really have to introduce him?! Oh wait, I forgot some people never read the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series..). He keeps a diary (or journal is what he calls it) to record his daily life. This time, Greg is overworked about a valentine's day dance. To raise money for the school to get new soft toilet paper for the school bathrooms (LONG story about that one: to make it short, the kids were complaining that the current toilet paper feels like sandpaper), the dance committee decided to make a dance for valentines day. But there is only one problem with that.:
                     Greg can't find a date to go to the dance with. All the girls that are options for him are either going with someone else, or don't want to go with him because he messed up his chance of going with them by doing something really stupid.
                      But he may have a chance of going to the dance with one of the girls on the dance committee His friend Rowley was elected social chairperson of the school. So he was always going to meetings about fundraising and stuff like that. So Greg asked him if he can hook her up with him...
                      But on the day of the dance, things went from bad to worse. Greg dirtied up his blazer, so he had to walk around without one, freezing. Then, they couldn't go into a fancy restaurant because  he wasn't dressed for the occasion. They ended up going to a kids restaurant. Then at the dance, it turned even worse than Greg imagined. His date was falling to pieces!
                     I don't want to say anymore because it'll mess up the book for others. But all I am going to say is that you will be surprised who ends up falling in love at the Valentine's Day Dance........


                                                           Goodbye!!!
