The Third Wheel (Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Book 7)
By Jeff Kinney
This book is about a teen named Gregory Heffley aka Greg. In this book Greg's high school holds a Valentines Day dance, everyone was talking about it and the students had to find a date to go with. The school organized candy grams, the

candy grams were invitations to the Valentines Day dance. The students had to send candy grams to the person that they wanted to go to the dance with. There were more boys than girls in Greg's grade so a lot of the guys (including Greg) we're worried that they won't get a date to go to the dance with. Greg tried sending a candy gram to a girl named Adrianne but she said no. He tried and tried but he was never successful in getting a date for the dance, until he came up with an idea of going to the dance as a group of friends with his best friend Rowley and a girl named Abigail who got dumped one day before the dance. This is a child/young adult book. If you enjoyed the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series then this is definitely the book for you.

Jeff Kinny has wrote another great novle.I think this is the best one.Greg is trying to find a date and time is running out.He doing whatever it takes to get a date.Will he get a date or be a lonly nerd.

Like the other Diary of A Wimpy Kid books, this one is very funny and the pictures are humorous and match the story. As usual, Greg can't catch a break and causes many of his own problems.

This is a popular, well-read series, and incudes interesting line drawings on every page. This is a great grab for the 10-13 year old age group, as it deals with issues happening at a middle school Valentine’s dance.

this book is great and is the funniest book so far!

i think this is a good book coz it is about a teenagers daily routine and what events happened to him on that day

Anyone who is, or was, an American teen in an American middle school can relate to the headaches of Greg Heffley. Filled with comics and a sizable font, this book is a quick read, as are all of the Wimpy Kid books. But even though they can be consumed as quickly as popcorn, they stay with you

longer as the misadventures of Greg and his friends, and family, are memorable without being unbelievable.

I think that the diary of a wimpy kid the third wheel is one of the funniest book I have ever read it makes you want more of
the book.

i recomend this book for 13 yrs and younger because it is a funny book and i think they would like it.

I found this to be the funniest installment into the Wimpy Kid series. Greg is growing up and there's a dance he's wanting to have a date to go with. Even though this story is where the characters are older I feel that because students are familiar with the characters and setting they will still

relate to these older scenarios and can envision what they may have to look forward to as they get older. As a read aloud it would need to be practiced quite a few times so as to not laugh along with the book.

I really enjoyed this book. It is a quick read,but it is very funny!!!!

I really enjoy this book. It has very interesting facts of a kid surviving his life. Greg was an unlucky kid because bad things happen to him such as his girlfrien for the dance went and started laughing with her friends during the dance.

This book shows some sticky situations and a kid who gets out of them and this also reminds me of things and sitsuations that happened to me to.

This book was cute. Many kids can connect to Greg. If you read the series, you can see how unlucky Greg's life is. I can relate to Greg alot so this book was awesome!

series- 4th grade- 7the book in the series

This book is funny in that it brings back the memories of when you are at school and trying to impress a girl. The school dance is coming up and Greg does not want to be the odd one out with out a date. This is typical of how a school kid would feel.
Greg is desperate to find someone and ends up

Show More

inviting a girl called Abigail. Aiming to impress her he organizes Rowley’s dad to drive them (on the pretence that he is a chauffeur) to the dance and in doing so has to have Rowley along as well. By the end of the night Abigail is more impressed with Rowley than Greg and a budding romance begins, much to the annoyance of Greg who feels like a third wheel. This is an enjoyable book as I could relate to how Greg felt attending his first school dance.

Show Less

Plenty of punchlines and sight gags; fans won't be disappointed. The book cover implies a foiled romance but don't worry, fellas, no mushy stuff here. Greg's pursuit of a date is more pragmatism than romantic pursuit, and the diary entry covering the big Valentine's Day dance is typical, full-on

Show More

Wimpy Kid disaster.

It's time for a boy/girl dance and Greg has his sight set on...any girl that'll have him. Except for one that'll have him. Ah, middle school. How familiar.

Eh, it was okay.

The more things change, the more they stay the same....

The above cliche is a perfect description of the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series. The latest, "The Third Wheel", follows the same script. The usual Greg Hefley family weirdness (this time with the addition of a deadbeat uncle); Greg figuring out

Show More

creative ways to get out of things leading to some mishap or another; hijinks at school (including the mysterious "pantser"). Same, same.

There is one difference though. Greg actually seems to be growing up. Girls weren't a focal point for him in the past, but with the big Valentine's Day dance coming up, finding someone to take becomes the central focus of "The Third Wheel". There are some funny parts about the search for a date, including some sound advice from the deadbeat uncle. And the book leads to an entertaining end, with good friend Rowley turning the tables on Greg.

Yeah, "The Third Wheel" is pretty much just like the other "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" books. But that isn't such a bad thing. Sometimes, funny is still funny, no matter how many times you read it.
