Kinney'sspot-on humor and winning formula of deadpan text set against cartoons are back in full force.This time, Greg starts off on New Year's Day (he resolves to 'help other people improve,' telling hismother, 'I think you should work on chewing your potato chips more quietly') and ends withsummer vacation. As he fends off his father's attempts to make him more of a man (the threat ofmilitary school looms), Greg's hapless adventures include handing out anonymous valentinesexpressing his true feelings ('Dear James, You smell'), attempting to impress his classmate Hollyand single-handedly wrecking his soccer team's perfect season. Kinney allows himself someinsider humor as well, with Greg noting the 'racket' children's book authors have going. 'All youhave to do is make up a character with a snappy name, and then make sure the character learns alesson at the end of the book.' Greg, self-centered as ever, may be the exception proving that rule.Ages 8-12. Copyright Â© Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rightsreserved. Read more For those wondering why tween boys donâ€t read very much, the answeris that more books arenâ€t like this. In this third (but not last, despite the subtitleâ€simplication) series entry, Greg Heffley, the Georgia Nicolson of American middle-school males, isjust trying to get through life. In hilarious diary entries, he details his attempts to get along with hisbrothers; a potential romance; and his dadâ€s futile efforts to turn him into a jock, whichreinforce Kinneyâ€s well-realized theme that grown-ups just donâ€t get it. While diary may notbe the most macho term, as Greg will be the first to tell you, the format certainly hooks the targetaudience with its printlike font, straightforward language, and copious cartoons. As the bookopens, Greg is eschewing New Yearâ€s resolutions: â€œItâ€s not easy for me to think ofways to improve myself, because Iâ€m already pretty much one of the best people I know.â€•And while it is clear to all that he is no saint, he is real, and many kids will agree with that selfassessment.Grades 5-8. --Andrew Medlar Read more See all Editorial Reviews
