The Review

Written by Parent Guide Plus Editors

The latest installment in the beloved Wimpy Kid series continues Greg Heffley's misadventures in middle school. The humor involves slapstick situations, mild gross-out jokes, and Greg's trademark bad decision-making. There's no profanity, violence, or sexual content. Some parents may note that Greg rarely learns from his mistakes, which could be a discussion point. The comic-book format and humor make it especially appealing to reluctant readers.
