Our Review

This latest installment in the wildly popular illustrated journal series continues the hilarious misadventures of Greg Heffley as he attempts to elevate his family's fortunes through a get-rich-quick scheme involving a viral video contest. The pressure is on, and Greg's signature blend of misguided confidence and spectacular failure is on full display, perfectly captured through Kinney's iconic stick-figure cartoons and handwritten-style text that fans have come to love.

Kinney masterfully taps into the universal middle school anxieties of social standing and family dynamics, delivering the same relatable humor that has made this series a perennial favorite. While the core story remains unchanged from the standard edition, the Target Exclusive includes bonus content that will particularly appeal to collectors and superfans looking for extra laughs. This is another solid entry that delivers exactly what readers expect from Greg Heffley's world.
