Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Third Wheel

I have read the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series several times but I would definitely say this one is my favourites. Greg's school is having a valentines dance and Greg is having a whole bundle of trouble finding a girl to go with. His best friend Rowley was voted for social chairperson in the school council and Greg realizes that Rowley could be his wing man to find someone to go to the dance with. After a while Greg realizes he made a BIG mistake.

Eventually Rowley tells Greg that a girl called Abigail's boyfriend told her that he had a family outing the night of the dance. Greg barely knows Abigail and Abigail barely knows him so Greg suggests that Rowley should ask Abigail if the three of them could go to the dance as "a group of friends". At the next school council meeting Rowley asks and Abigail says yes.  Greg was planning Abigail would get to know how great a person he was,  but it doesn't work out like that...

Greg has to sit in the back of the car while they're getting taken to dinner and Rowley and Abigail sit together whispering and giggling. The dinner didn't work out how Greg wanted it either. He suddenly remembered when they got inside, the rule was you had to wear a sports jacket. They had to leave early because the sports jacket smelt horrible.

I would recommend this book to fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and anyone who likes book that make you laugh out loud.
