The Diary of A Wimpy Kid Books: Old School, Hard Luck and Double Down

Here’s a quick summary of each of those Diary of a Wimpy Kid books by Jeff Kinney: 🍀 Hard Luck (Book 8)- Soft cover Greg feels abandoned when his best friend Rowley gets a girlfriend. Lonely and unlucky, Greg starts using a Magic 8 Ball to make decisions. He tries to replace Rowley with Fregley, which backfires. At home, Easter chaos erupts over a missing diamond ring.

Eventually, he reconciles with Rowley and learns to trust his own judgment. 📚 Old School (Book 10) - Hard cover Greg Heffley’s mom launches a town-wide “unplugged” weekend to escape technology, which Greg resents. He ends up on a school trip to Hardscrabble Farms, where kids live like it’s the 1800s. Greg faces chores, legends of a creepy farmer named Silas Scratch, and discovers his dad created the myth years ago to hide a secret hideout. Greg learns to appreciate modern comforts—but not without chaos. 🎬 Double Down (Book 11)- Soft cover Greg’s mom wants him to be more creative and less obsessed with video games. He tries writing, joins the school band to get into a Halloween party, and attempts to make a horror movie with Rowley using gummy worms.
