THE ONE WHERE GREG GETS ""THE TALK""

The fifth laugh-out-loud, fully-illustrated Diary of a Wimpy Kid book from #1 international bestselling author Jeff Kinney! A global phenomenon with 250 million copies of the series sold worldwide!

Greg Heffley has always been in a hurry to grow up. Being older means you can live alone, eat whatever you want for dinner and don’t have to share with your brothers. PERFECT.

At least, that’s what Greg thought, but it turns out there’s a lot more to growing up like dealing with boy/girl dances, increased responsibilities and awkward changes.

On top of all this, he’s fighting with this best friend Rowley, and is being dragged to his uncle’s FIFTH wedding. Surely there’s more to growing up than THIS?

I like Manny best because he is funny, and l enjoy looking at the pictures of him as he is so small , but has a big head. I would highly recommend this book to the age of 7-11. l think this book is fiction. It interested me , because there are lots of different events happening throughout the story.

Greg has to start growing up now. His Great-Grandma called Gammie said that Greg’s lips will go puffy and he will start getting more blisters.
