Diary of a Wimpy Kid #4: Dog Days Award-winning by Jeff Kinney (author) (UK edition)

The summer holiday has arrived, the sun is hot, and all the kids are having fun outside. So where’s our favourite wimpy kid? In his house, playing video games with the curtains drawn. Greg is living out his summer fantasy: no responsibilities, no rules and no-one to bug him! Unfortunately, Mum has a different vision of a perfect summer: one packed with outdoor activities and “family togetherness”. Eeek! And things get even worse when Mum brings home a brand-new addition to the Heffley family. It could be a real dog of a summer… Fourth in the mega-selling diary series which is now a Hollywood film, this is a hilarious story of growing pains for pre-teen boys, combining simple text with hysterical picture-strips.
