This is the 2nd book in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series and turn out to be quite interesting in my point of view because of the interesting first book where I left off. This book has a good short plot which is easy to understand. Greg Heffley is entering seventh grade. Greg and his friend Rowley are "undersized weaklings" in their school, hoping simply to just survive, but Greg starts having trouble at home, especially since his mom, Susan initiates a "swear jar" that complicates matters when she gives all the money in the jar to Manny, Greg's younger brother. Susan also initiates the "Mom Bucks" program. Mom Bucks is a system in which they earn play moneyby doing extra chores and they can cash it in for real money, each worth one cent, or getting out of doing chores. The program runs into problems when Rodrick takes all of Greg's Mom Bucks to get his poorly written history paper to turn in after the worst case scenario happens. Susan also causes more problems when she bans junk food in the house. Greg also tries every attempt to impress his crush, Holly Hills. Rodrick and Greg have problems throughout the book, including Rodrick and his band, "Loded Diper" throwing a wild party while their parents are away. Greg is forcedto use whatever means he can to cover this up to avoid getting in trouble. I thought this is indeed a worthy book to read and i enjoyed reading it from beggining to end!!!
