From New Year's Day until the start of summer vacation, middle-schooler Greg Heffley continues his cartoon-filled journal. New experiences and responsibilities include doing his own laundry (or, rather, not doing it, with some embarrassing consequences), playing soccer (or, more accurately, shivering on the sidelines while watching his team play), and joining the Boy Scouts. Also, Greg is interested in classmate Holly Hills, but he isn't having much success getting her to notice him. And Greg's dad is threatening to send Greg to military school-during summer vacation. Black-and-white drawings.
