This is the seventh book in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. This book starts out with Greg telling the story of when he was born. He came out 3 weeks early. He got a lot of hand-me-downs from his older brother. Then we get to present day. It is February and there is going to be a dance at school on Valentine's Day to raise money for the school. Greg is looking for a date to bring to the dance. He ends up finding one but they go as a friends group with his best friend Rowley too. They go out to dinner before the dance. They go to a nice dinner place and he has to wear sportscoat but they leave because Greg doesn't want to. So they go to a trashy place. At the end he gets Chicken Pox.

The book is about a tornado that makes a lot of noise. Jack and Annie go to a school that they didn't know they would run into and the school only had 3 people. I liked this book!

A friend of mine recommended this book to me. I really liked it. I could not put this book down! This book is about a boy who wants to find his father. His name is Charlie. He has a special power that is really cool. He has a lot of adventures throughout the book. What is neat about this book is that you do not need to read book number 1 first to understand any other book in the series. You can just pick any book in the series and you can easily follow the plot.
