Diary keeper Greg Heffley cant just endure middle school in peace. His helicopter mom is working on a petition to get people to stop using electronics for 48 hours. His new pet pig, whos learned to walk on two legs, gets more house privileges than he does. And even more annoying, his Grandpa, who cant pay his rent at Leisure Towers anymore, has moved into Gregs bedroom, which means Greg now has to sleep on the floor of his baby brothers room. Worst of all, Greg ends up on the school camping trip to Hardscrabble Farms, which lives up to its reputation for being the worse camp ever.

The just-released Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Old School is the tenth book in the series, and happily its just as fresh and humorous as its predecessors. In fact, I laughed so loud while sitting alone on the couch of our living room, I was worried someone would spy me and think Id finally gone around the bend (why do I always feel this way when Im laughing out loud by myself?). The theme is old school vs. new school, or old geezers ways of doing things versus progress, and whether or not youve read books 1-9, Old School is a fun read for any age.
