Diary of a Wimpy Kid 8 - Hard Luck Jeff Kinney Amulet Books November 5, 2013 978-1-4197-1132-9 English Comedy |
Following what happened in The Third Wheel, the book follows Greg Heffley as he finds himself facing a new streak of bad luck. His best friend Rowley has betrayed him for Abigail, and Greg is finding it extremely difficult to find new friends. His mother tells him that friends come and go, but family is forever. Greg, though, believes that he and his family weren't meant to be.
Greg thinks that he should have a girlfriend too, and things that he and Rowley like to do are now over. Things like the Five-Second Rule and French Fry Fridays cause Rowley and Abigail to move to the Couple's Table, which is mostly empty, now that every couple has been blown apart. Rowley, though, believes Greg is just jealous. And now, Greg needs a friend who can write in cursive-and scout for dog poop.
Greg needs a good friend who carries his books. But Rowley is carrying Abgail's books, so Greg uses a roller bag. He has to avoid Mr. Sandoval and the Mingo Kids, though. His mother tells him that childhood friends don't last long, but Greg wants one friend to stay with to appreciate him when he gets older. But the Slumber Party Pals books just tell him guy and girl friendships are just too different to accept.
Greg is enrolled to Superhero Training Academy, which is a big lie. Afterwards, different clubs are introduced, all of them trying to make recess the best they can. The game, Girls Chase Boys, and its opponent, Boys Chase Girls, is also shown. Hero Points are also shown, but are crossed out very early, because Erik gets ahold of them, and creates copies for kids to buy. Also, Greg considers buying his science fair project from a bad kid, but the kid gets in trouble, receives detention, and goes to summer school.
Greg is blindsided when Mom's family is coming over: Aunt Cakey, who hates children; Aunt Gretchen, who has twins; Aunt Veronica, who only appears online; and Aunt Audra, who is obsessed with fortunes. Everyone goes to Gramma's house for Easter, and then, began searching for Meemaw's Diamond ring once more.
Later, Greg breaks his Magic 8 Ball, and finds the ring, which was inside an Easter Egg. Greg and Rowley reconcile, and things are once again gold luck. Or at least until it starts up again, but now, things are no longer Hard Luck.
Rowley comes to school with a large pimple on his forehead. This makes Greg wonder about his growth spurt. They are then both invited to one of Jordan Jury's notoriously wild parties, in which many girls come. Unfortunately for Greg, the party takes place on the same day as his Uncle Gary's wedding. Greg is humiliated and bored at the wedding, and then receives "The Talk" from Gammie. Gammie explains to Greg the stress and horrors of becoming and being an adult both physically and mentally, which causes Greg to enjoy his late childhood for now.
At this point Greg's mother Susan stops going to college for now to returns to the family, much to Greg's delight. Greg also decided to make the first move and mends his friendship with his ex-best friend Rowley, and the two became friends again.
