Greg Heffley is a good person. To prove it, he kicks off the book with his New Years' resolution of helping people improve. He starts by telling his mother that she should eat her potato chips more quietly. Many other incidents such as this bring Greg's father to think of military school, which he considers a great way to make Greg more manly. The book ends just as summer is about to begin, setting the stage for the sequel "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days".
Greg Heffley wants to stay indoors all summer long. His mother thinks not. As she encourages Greg to play outside like a normal kid, another situation comes up. A smoothie bill. Rowleys dad Mr. Jefferson, owner of the country club said that Greg and Rowley owed the club eight-three dollars! How did the boys handle this? They came up with a job that they could gather money for. When Rowley backs out, its all up to Greg. Well of course this didnt work out. Gregs birthday came along and he got tons of money. What happened to this money? It got confiscated!
