Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days is the fourth hilarious installment in Jeff Kinney’s worldwide bestselling series.
It’s summer vacation, and Greg Heffley has big plans—like playing video games indoors all day, avoiding sunlight, and relaxing. Unfortunately, his mom has a very different idea of “summer fun.” From swimming disasters and family road trips to an awkward crush and a disastrous pet dog, Greg’s summer quickly spirals out of control.
 
With Kinney’s trademark humor, cartoon illustrations, and laugh-out-loud storytelling, Dog Days captures the struggles and joys of summer in a way every kid can relate to. Whether you’re new to the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series or a longtime fan, this book is the perfect summer read.
