diary of a wimpy kid 'the ugly truth'
i know this may not seem as a book that you should post but this was the last recent book Ive read. in the book so far Greg and rowley aren't talking from the last year when they got into a fight over they re catch name 'zoo-wee-mama' so Greg is starting a new year lonely. his school is having a lock in where they have the kids stay in the school over night and they can t leave. Greg goes theyre but the only thing is that they're isn't that many girls and he didn't bring anything to play with so all he had was to look in at the ceiling while laying down on his sleeping bag. once that's over the teachers take all the kids and force them to go and play some cheesy games like 'telephone'. it where you say a word and then you travel and whisper in the person next to you ears and they pass it on until they get to the last person and they say aloud what they others said. Greg didn't enjoy that either overall the whole ting was corny and childish. and that's the part I'm up to for the book.
