GREG HEFFLEY AND SPORTS JUST DON’T MIX.
After a disastrous competition at school, Greg decides that he’s officially retired from ANY kind of sport! That is, until his mom persuades him to give it one more go and makes Greg reluctantly agree to sign up for basketball.

Tryouts are a MESS, and Greg is sure he won’t make the cut. But he unexpectedly lands a spot on the worst team. As Greg and his new teammates start the season, their chances of winning even a single game look slim. But in sports, anything can happen. When everything is on the line and the ball is in Greg’s hands, will he rise to the occasion? Or will he blow his big shot?

This book was funny too. It was about basketball and his mum really wanted him to be part of a team playing sport so she set up a basketball team but they were all rubbish and it made me laugh.

Greg Heffley and sports just DON'T MIX. But that makes the book so much fun. I recommend this to everyone in the universe. Especially to people who like to play sports.

Really funny, once I started reading I couldn't stop. The best bit was when the mum interfered with the team and became the coach. I would highly recommend it.

Brilliant book but it could have quite a lot more life in it and the ending was to subtle but the part were Greg heffley plays basketball at the second chance tournament.
