Book Review #700 - The Third Wheel (Diary of a Wimpy Kid #7) by Jeff Kinney

13563669



Love is in the air - but what does that mean for Greg Heffley?
 
 
A Valentine's Day dance at Greg's middle school has turned his world upside down. As Greg scrambles to find a date, he's worried he'll be left out in the cold on the big night. His best friend, Rowley, doesn't have any prospects either, but that's a small consolation.
 
 
An unexpected twist gives Greg a partner for the dance and leaves Rowley the odd man out. But a lot can happen in one night, and in the end, you never know who's going to be lucky in love.
 
 
My Rating: 3/5
 
 
It had been a while since I last read a Wimpy Kid book when I decided to pick this one up. I find these books are perfect to read between dense fantasy books. I find it quick and easy to jump straight back into these books.
 
 
Even though this is the seventh book in the series, it still managed to contain the same amount of charm and humour as the previous six books did.
 

This book is centred around Valentine's Day and so even though the characters grew up a little, Greg was still at his immature best and managing to screw things up in ways only Greg could possibly manage.
 
 
I liked how this book centred not just heavily around Greg's school, but also his home life as the previous books seem to just focus on one or the other, or focus on one more than the other.
