In this eighth series installment, Greg's best friend Rowley has deserted him for a girl, and Greg has to survive the daily pitfalls of middle school--not to mention a spring-vacation family gathering--without him. The plot here is a little thin, but the middle-school sensibilities and humor remain as authentic as ever. Another treat for reluctant readers.
