I liked page 116 because there was a diagram of the students in Greg’s class. The boys and girls who liked each other, dated and those who broke up with each other. And Greg didn’t have anyone who liked him.

This is a fiction book. My favourite character is the main character, Greg.

I would definitely recommend this book to someone else especially if they like books which are funny.

05 Jul 2025

My favourite person was Greg because he's funny and life doesn't always go his way and it ends upakinge laugh. I like the book because it's interesting, when you start to read it you get glued to the book and when you're finished you want to read it again or find another one.

31 Aug 2024

It was funny reading about Greg's slip ups and about Manny's fears. It was funny because Manny was scared of stupid things like his shadow. After reading it I wanted to learn how to draw Greg.
