Greg has just started middle school, where half the kids are scrawny lightweights and the other half are six feet tall and have to shave every morning. In this illustrated journal, Greg takes us through a year of sixth grade, of moldy cheese on the basketball court and wrestling units in Phys Ed, of sneaking video games past Mom and avoiding the bullies from high school, of homework and popularity contests. And, of course, there are the ups and downs of his relationship with his best friend and sidekick Rowley, especially when Rowley stumbles into the popularity that Greg so desperately wants. Greg's growing pains are leavened with humor and comical drawings in this wry story.
