Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Third Wheel By Jeff Kinney

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Third Wheel is a young adult novel by Jeff Kinney which follows the misadventures of middle-schooler Greg Heffley as he attempts to adjust to his Uncle Gary moving in, and finding a date for the Valentines Day Dance. It is the seventh installment in the œWimpy Kid� series by Kinney. When the novel begins, Gregs primary concern is dealing with his Uncle Gary moving in after Uncle Garys most recent failed business venture. Uncle Gary had borrowed money from Gregs dad, Frank, to buy a Boston t-shirt stand. However, all of the t-shirts were misspelled, saying œBotson� instead of œBoston�. As a result, Uncle Gary is broke and needs a place to crash. At Gregs moms insistence, Gary stays with the family.
