Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Big Shot Book 16

Greg and his family and friends, who make the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books a must-read for middle school readers, are back and at their best in this hilarious new installment of the series, which is sure to please current fans while attracting new ones. The highly anticipated sixteenth book in the critically acclaimed and bestselling series takes the art of being wimpy to a whole new level.

Big Shot is about Greg and sports. He's awful at sports, always has been. No matter how much his mom has told him it's about trying and trying again, until he finds the sport for him, for Greg, it's a bad idea. As far as athletics is concerned, Greg is retired. His patient, ever-loving, ex-basketball playing mother, on the other hand, is not willing to give up so easily on Greg. Mom convinces Greg to tryout for a school basketball team. If he doesn't make it, she won't bug him again about sports. Problem solved…or is it?
