Greg Heffley is starting to realize that growing up isn’t as exciting as he once thought. In this illustrated middle-grade novel, fifth in the bestselling Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, Greg faces new social pressures, embarrassing changes, and strained friendships — all while navigating the confusing world of adolescence. With his best friend Rowley no longer by his side, Greg finds himself confronting “the ugly truth” of growing up alone, bringing readers a humorous and painfully relatable glimpse into pre-teen life. This book blends illustrated diary entries with sharp wit, making it a favorite among kids dealing with school, parents, and the awkward in-betweens of growing older.
