For a sixth-grade time capsule meant to be opened in the year 2500, Hal entertainingly describes what it's like to share a bedroom with twin baby sisters and to be courting a failing grade in history. Funny cartoon timelines and occasional doodles enhance the quirky humor. Sure, this sad-sack path blazed by Jeff Kinney's Wimpy Kid is familiar ground, but Hal treads it well.
