I LOVE this book.

I got into these books when I was 3 . THREE. I would recommend this for all ages. Funny and great. Even some kids read it in my second grade class and they are not even 8 yet. I love the series. You should read it.

Diary Of a Wimpy Kid-The Third Wheel.

It's meh. It's just about Greg finding someone. Yes, Greg is the third wheel. It's about Greg finding someone (SPOLIER: Althought he doesn't). It's not bad, just about Greg trying to find someone.

It is a rlly good book

Abdullah Toor This just like every other Diary of a wimpy kid book is amazing. It was rlly interesting and I rlly enjoyed it. The story was about Greg trying to find a girl to go to the school dance and Rowley being a HORRIBLE wingman and getting the girl that Greg wanted. Yes at the end Rowley and Abigal were a couple.

Awesome book!

I love this series! There's nothing wrong with it except for one thing. I fell as though there are not enough female characters in these books. But the humor never gets old and there are great messages in it. Super funny. A work of art. Thank you for reading and I hope this was helpful!

Greg tries to find a date for a school Valentine's Day dance, and he and Rowley end up both taking a girl named Abigail

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Third Wheel is a 2012 bestselling children's novel and the seventh book in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, written by American author Jeff Kinney. Kinney announced the book in March 2012, with The Third Wheel's cover revealed in May 2012. The book was released on November 13, 2012. After talking about what his life was like from before he was born to his preschool years, Greg explains some of the parenting methods his mother has tried on Manny and how Manny has been affected by those methods, which are different from what Greg's was. Then, Abigail Brown, who is alone after her boyfriend, Michael Sampson, had a family obligation. Greg asks Rowley to ask Abigail to go with them as a group of friends; she agrees. Greg's idea is to use Rowley to get him a girlfriend, so he can go on a date with her. At the dance, their night is ruined when senior citizens overrun their dance, claiming they reserved the dance area first, but they compromise things that ruin the theme, such as lights, no more music and a partition severing half the gym. Michael Sampson even arrives with Cherie Bellanger. Michael was supposed to go with Abigail, and he may have lied, and both Abigail and Sampson probably did not expect the other to be at the dance. Finally, while dancing with Abigail, Greg spots what looks like chicken pox marks on her face. It only turns out she had pimples when she was crying over Michael, but Greg panics, leaving Abigail crying and Rowley comforting her

Unhealthy Messages About What To Look For In A Boyfriend/Girlfriend

Greg only cares about girl's physical appearances. He is trying to find a girl to go out with him to the school dance, and he constantly talks about whether a girl is pretty or not. He never thinks about their personality. This is a bad message in many ways. It teaches girls that the only part of them that matters is their appearance. It teaches people of all genders that the only thing they should care about in a partner is physical attraction. I put 18+ because I personally don't think anyone should read this book.
