In the month of March, I read the book Diary of a Wimpy Kid Double Down by Jeff Kinney. The book is about a middle schooler named Greg who thinks he is in a movie or a show. He also is trying to learn how to play a musical instrument, but it does not go well. He ends up not understanding his instrument and gets grounded after goofing off instead of performing. He is forced to go outside and be more creative by his mom after playing way too much video games.
I really enjoyed the book, it was full of humor. The main character, Greg and his friend Rowly go on mysterious adventures, they even try to make a movie but that didn’t end up going well as they were terrified as the geese attacked them.
Greg was my favorite character because he always found his way and tried something new. Like instead of playing video games he would make a movie with his friend, or try to learn a new instrument. Even though he failed and ended up getting in trouble, that didn’t stop him from trying new things. He is also very funny and sometimes he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Like in the book he says, “hope you creeps are enjoying your selves.” This is because he thinks he is in a movie.
My favorite quote from the book is “My parents are always saying the world doesn’t revolve around me, but I wonder if it actually does!” I like this quote because it shows the main character, Greg being creative and trying to figure out new things. Which is something we could learn how to do too. This is a pretty ridiculous thought by him. He is basically thinking that he is the only real human and the whole world revolves around him. You never know he could be right.
