    About this audiobook

    It’s summer vacation—the weather’s great, and all the kids are having fun outside.

    So where’s Greg Heffley? Inside his house, playing video games with the shades drawn.

    Greg, a self-confessed “indoor person,” is living out his ultimate summer fantasy: no responsibilities and no rules. But Greg’s mom has a different vision for an ideal summer … one packed with outdoor activities and “family togetherness.”

    Whose vision will win out? Or will a new addition to the Heffley family change everything?

      Great way to start journaling. Lots of fun prompts to get you started, and plenty of blank pages to keep going.

      children's middlegrade graphic fiction. I have to say, I enjoyed the movie more, but anything that makes kids enjoy reading is fine by me.
    • 3/5
      Yep. Great idea, the three boys who have no idea what responsibility is are in desperate need of a puppy. That goes over real well.

      My children and I have fallen in love with Jeff Kinney’s series of The Diary of A Wimpy Kid. I have found that my children really relate with the chapter book/ comic strips that narrate Greg’s life. I have seen so many children get excited to read Kinney’s books. I love when I see children so excited to read that they cannot put the books down, and are quick to grab the sequel. Young readers are able to connect with scenarios that happen in Greg’s life. In this book, “Dog Days” I was even able to connect to the storyline as an adult. We all want our children to put the video games down for a moment, and go play outside. It was funny to understand the perspective of a child, and watch the devastation of being pulled from video games unfold. I give this book a five!

      Greg hat es einfach nicht leicht. Es könnten so tolle Sommerferien werden, wäre da nicht seine Mutter, die es sich in den Kopf gesetzt hat, Greg zu einem besseren Sohn zu machen. Anstatt also wie geplant zu Hause zu bleiben und sich durch ein Videospiel zum nächsten zu spielen, muss Greg tatsächlich den Fuß vor die Tür setzen. Und damit fängt der ganze Ärger erst richtig an. Familienausflüge, Ärger mit dem Golfclub und Vater-Sohn-Diskrepanzen sind da erst der Anfang.Greg wünscht sich immer mehr, er könnte ein ganz normales Leben führen. Doch alle scheinen sich gegen ihn verschworen zu haben und er fühlt sich missverstanden. Deshalb versucht er immer wieder entweder seinen eigenen Kopf durchzusetzen oder seinen Eltern zu zeigen, dass er ein guter Sohn ist. Beides hat meistens keinen Erfolg. Ein Fettnäpfchen jagt das nächste und Greg könnte einem fast schon leid tun, wäre er nicht so oft von sich selbst und seinen Fähigkeiten komplett eingenommen. Ein typischer Teenager eben.Wieder einmal schafft es der Comic-Roman mit dieser Fortsetzung dem geneigten Leser ein kurzweiliges Vergnügen zu bereiten. Und manchmal erhascht man sogar einen kleinen Blick zurück in die eigenen Vergangenheit. Denn ein missmutiger und missverstandener Teenager schlummert doch immer noch in uns, auch wenn wir es oft nicht zugeben wollen. Greg repräsentiert das, was wir einmal waren und unsere Kinder einmal sein werden. Egal wann und wo wir aufwachsen.

      Greg, the main character from many other books is back again!Greg is in 7th grade, almost in the 8th grade, of course many things happen.Greg has a brother who practically hates him, and Holly Hills, who he wants to be friends with.His father threatens to put him in a Military Academy if he doesn't become a "man".He also always a video game addict, which his dad didn't want.

      It wasn't "amazing" because I was already amazed by the first one, but this is laugh-out-loud (very loud) hilarious. Loved it.

      This realistic fiction story is about a boy named Greg. Greg is on summer vacation and all he wants to do is draw the blinds and play video games. This works out perfectly temporarily, however Greg's mother has other plans for his summer. There are a lot of twists and turns that the mom's plans bring, like his mom getting left at the gas station, his dog getting run over by his grandpa.Although Greg was quite convinced he wouldn't enjoy the activities at all, looking back over his summer he decides it was a pretty good one.
    • 4/5
      This is a cute book about Greg. Greg is out of school for the summer, but he has vowed to stay inside for the whole time. Every time he leaves the house, something bad happens. (All thanks to Greg and his attitude of course). This book goes through all of Greg's adventures that he has during the summer. He goes to the town pool, has a fight with his friends, starts a lawn business, gets a dog, talks to a girl, goes to the beach, calls the cops, and so much more. There is no stopping Greg on the rampage of summer. But although his summer is so horrible, at the end of the book he looks back and realizes that it wasn't so bad after all. Genre: realistic fiction because this could easily be based off of someones life, but I don't think it is.
    • 4/5
      I liked this book for a few reasons. The first reason I liked the story was because I thought writing was very engaging. Throughout the story the events that were happening to Greg were very entertaining and kept me easily engaged. During each embarrassing event I was pulled into the story, and wanted to keep reading. For example, I was interested in how Greg was going to be able to pay back the money for all of the smoothies he had to drink at the country club, so that helped to fuel my continuation of the story. On top of the writing being engaging I thought it also was very well paced. The story also always had an exciting event happening, and this helped to keep the story moving. Whether Greg was trying to get the attention of his lifeguard crush, or go on a miserable vacation with his best friend, Rowley, Greg was always doing something interesting. I also thought the language added to the flow of the story. The language was very clear, and this made it easy to read. Having clear language allows for the reader to read fluidly, and without must hesitation. Allowing for this fluency when reading is what helps the story to continue on a steady pace. Another reason I liked the story was because of the main character Greg. In my opinion Greg was a very believable character. His reaction to each new situation is how I think other children would react to situations. He often gets embarrassed by his parents, and these types of reactions are often how other children would react, so they can relate. I thought Greg was a very relatable character, which was also why I liked him so much. For example, Greg is hoping for his birthday to magical, filled with wonderful gifts, but he ends up very disappointed. Greg was hoping to get a pet dog or money, but instead he gets a Ladybug which only makes calls to his house and 911. I think many kids would be able to relate to getting gifts that they did not necessarily want, and being disappointed by this. Having such a relatable main character allows readers to get pulled into the story. When a reader can see themselves in the story it makes the book much more interesting, and helps to keep the reader engaged. A last reason I liked the story was because I thought the illustrations were able to really enhance the story. There were little illustrations that were placed throughout the story that really helped to keep the reader engaged. They were cartoons that helped explain the events that were occurring in the story. Each illustration helped the reader to further visualize what was happening in the story, and this led to an enhancement of the story. It was nice to have things described in the written text, but then be further explained with a picture. I think the overall message of the story is that you cannot let a few bad situations bring down your outlook on life. Throughout the story Greg does go through some difficult situations, but he does not allow this to completely overcome him. He does get discouraged in the book, but he still continues to try and make situations better for himself.

      The book is about summer break and the main character (Greg) is ready for the summer. He wants to play video games all summer but his dad doesn't like him doing that. So Greg had to think of other things to do. Greg wanted to do boy scouts so his dad signed him up. So whenever they went to the camp Greg had to make dad not see the other camp because Greg didn't want to go to the camp, so he didn't do boy scouts any more. Later in the book they talked about the public poop that Greg hated, he liked going to the country club more. One day Rowley ( Greg's Friend) came over and his dad was with him with a bill of the cost of smoothies they have bought. The bill was $84 and Greg had to pay the bill. So now Greg has to get the money to pay back the bill. I like the book because it is a book that is funny. I like how they thought of the idea of the book and how they have to get the money to pay for the bill. My favorite character is Greg because he is a lot like me. I liked the part when Rowley came over for a sleep over and Greg and Rowley watched a horror movie that they weren't supposed to. It was called the Muddy Hand, Rowley had his eyes closed the whole time though so he didn't see any of it. I also like the book because it is a good book that every one should read. I love the book because it is funny and weird.

      The fourth installment of "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" is still as funny as ever! Not the best but will still make you laugh and miss the old school days. It has such lovable characters and Greg is still an insensitive ass sometimes, i mean always, HAHA.

      Pages 1-100Its summer vacation and all the kids are playing outside, but not Greg Heffley. Greg is inside of his home playing video games. This is what he thinks he will be doing for the rest of the summer, but his mom thinks otherwise.

    • 3/5
      Same spirit and still enjoyable, but less hilarity and charm than the original. In Greg's account of his summer holidays, he does come across as mean and a loser.  Not very appealing, but there you go - of course  it is the selfishness of this ?12-year-old that gives the character and voice its authenticity.
