So funny I have always loved Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. They are addicting. But usually they never follow a storyline, they just give random incidences from Greg's life. In this book, there actually was a story. And eve though it meant having the worst football team ever, it al gave you something to think about at the end of the book.
its the first book that I have read in the series of the dairy of a wimpy kid. and it brought tears of laughter in my eyes.I really fell on the floor laughing about it.I believe that jeff kinney is a genius. I think its a must read for children above 8-9 years
this was the second book i have read in the series of wimpy kid.initially you wont understand the connection between the tittle of the book and the story but finally you will. Greg's father decides to leave him in the military school and the line is about how he tries escape from his dad! BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ? to know more read the book.
My first time reading this book was in first grade, when one of my friend gifted me this on my birthday. Ever since then, it has been enjoyable to read and re-read. It is very funny and enjoyable to see the funny ways in which Greg (the main character) suffers. Overall, a great read for beginners.

It's a humorous, short, easy-to-read book that appeals to reluctant readers, and all of that is true. It's the illustrations that make it particularly funny -- simple b&w cartoons that are so brilliantly done that they convey both the characters as well as Greg the narrator's attitude towards them, and yet somehow still remain believable as a kid's drawings. Along with that comes text that always ensures that the reader knows more than Greg and can have the uh-oh pleasure of anticipating what is going to go wrong.
Let’s face it: Greg Heffley will never change his wimpy ways. Somebody just needs to explain that to Greg’s father. You see, Frank Heffley actually thinks he can get his son to toughen up, and he enlists Greg in organized sports and other "manly” endeavors. Of course, Greg is easily able to sidestep his father’s efforts to change him. But when Greg’s dad threatens to send him to military academy, Greg realizes he has to shape up . . . or get shipped out
Since it is New Years, Greg figures that people should be creating resolutions lists. Since he can’t think of anything that he needs to resolve for himself, he determines to help everyone else stick to or construct their own resolutions. Despite his best efforts, however, Rodrick, his older brother, refuses to make any changes (much to Greg’s disappointment). The reader meets Lenwood Heath, the neighborhood vandal, whom Greg’s father detests. Greg shares that his father has called the police department fifty times over the last few years to report Lenwood. Finally, the entire situation is resolved when Greg learns that Lenwood is being sent to a military school. Greg’s father decides that both Greg and Rodrick are out of shape and aren’t measuring up to other kids in the neighborhood. Greg suspects that nothing good can come of this conclusion. The next month is not much better as Greg’s junk food snacks have failed to make an appearance in his lunch sack for many days. When he complains to his mother, she tells him that she has a set number of snacks to pack inside lunches. When they are all gone, they are all gone until the next grocery day. She insinuates that Greg has been sneaking into the laundry room and eating them, but Greg knows that it’s most likely Rodrick. Meanwhile, grade cards come out. Greg is not fast enough to get to the mailbox before his mother. She looks in horror at his report card to see that Greg is failing nearly every subject. Greg tells the reader that he is so tired from walking to and from school each day that he takes a long nap after school. Then, it’s time for dinner. After dinner, there are great TV programs to watch. The next day Greg falls asleep in class and is sent to detention where a bully, named Leon, torments him. However, Greg seizes upon the chance to make it look as if Leon has smacked him on the back of the head, and Leon gets several more days of detention. Meanwhile, when Greg returns home he learns that his mother has finally gone to the grocery store and restocked the snacks in the laundry room. Greg knows that it is just a matter of time before the real thief comes down to steal the snacks. Greg hides in some laundry in the hamper and waits. He falls asleep while waiting but is wakened by the sound of crinkling paper. When he springs out of the basket, he is shocked to see that the thief is his father. Valentine’s Day and the big dance arrive, and Greg is certain that this will be the perfect time to make his move on Holly Hills. However, when he gets up the nerve to go speak to her, Fregley, a nerdy kid that lives in Greg’s neighborhood ruins his chance. Greg’s father has finally come to the conclusion that his children don’t measure up and as a result he’s taken it upon himself to enroll Rodrick in an SAT course and Greg on a soccer team. Greg is less than thrilled. Mr. Litch is Greg’s coach. For most of the first games, Greg and two other players warm the seats. But, when a new rule is passed, Greg is forced to play. It does not go well at all. Greg’s father takes him to the movies where they run into Lenwood Heath, who doesn’t even look like himself any more. Lenwood talks to Greg’s father and tells him that he’s not only a star athlete at the military academy but that he’s pulling high grades, too. Greg’s father begins to get ideas, and his ideas worry Greg. When Greg hears his father talking to his mother about the benefits of military school, Greg tells his father that he would like to be in Boy Scouts instead of soccer. Greg’s father agrees. Boy Scouts is better than soccer because Greg and Rowley are able to join the easy troop. Nearly anything the boys do, regardless of skill or proficiency, they receive a badge. Greg’s father is finally somewhat proud of him, and Greg is encouraged. He asks his father if he would like to go on a father son camping trip so that Greg can show him all that he’s learned in scouts. Greg’s father agrees, but Greg’s mother insists that they also take Rodrick. The camping trip does not happen because it rains. All three end up staying in a hotel for the weekend. While there, Rodrick tricks Greg into coming to the door. Greg, who is only wearing his underwear, is shoved out into the hallway. Rodrick locks the door. Greg hides by the vending machines because he knows that his father will eventually go there for junk food. When his father finds him there, Greg can tell that his father is disappointed in him. June rolls around, and Greg watches as everyone talks about how wonderful their summer is going to be. Greg knows that his is going to be horrible because military school begins in the summer. To top things off, he has to use one of his last few days of freedom to go to their neighbor’s party. Greg’s dad has been ducking them for a while; but, he doesn’t get out of it this time. He tells Greg that he will owe him a massive favor if he can come up with a way to go home early. At the party

The book starts on January 1, with Greg talking about his family's New Year's resolutions. Life becomes more difficult for Greg and his best friend Rowley when their school bus route is "rezoned" to the Whirley Street neighborhood, so they have to walk to and from school. Greg also talks about how his dad, Frank, unfairly compares him to his boss's sons, who are very athletic, as Frank is deeply jealous of his boss's sons. After conflicts over Greg wanting to stay inside and watch TV on Saturdays and Frank stealing his school snacks, Frank makes him sign up for rec league soccer after an incident at church on Easter. At first, he rides the bench, but becomes the starting goalie when the main goalie is injured. He allows a goal to ruin his team's perfect season because he took a break to pick dandelions on the field. After this, Frank runs into a neighborhood troublemaker named Lenwood who has apparently reformed after going to military school. Impressed with his former enemy's turnaround, he signs up Greg for a summer program at a place called Spag Union Military School, hoping Greg will change for the better. To impress his dad and thereby avoid military school, Greg decides to join the Boy Scouts. However, he is sick and misses their camping trip, which Frank has to go to anyway (he's a chaperone) and has a terrible time. Later, when Greg, Frank, and Rodrick have a camping "do-over", they end up at a hotel after heavy rain, where Rodrick locks Greg out of their room in his underwear. After this, Greg becomes more resigned to his military school fate, especially after his attempts to make a good impression on a girl named Holly Hills in his class. But on what he thinks is his only day of summer vacation, Greg ends up saving Frank from making a fool of himself at their neighbor's birthday party. The next day, his dad decides Greg doesn't have to go to Spag Union after all, and the book ends with Greg looking forward to his summer vacation.
