Plot: It is September, Greg Heffley has a new diary and he is about to start a new year of middle school. He didn't have the best summer like his friend Rowley, who went to South America and bragged about it. Greg's dad made him join the swim team, and his mom made his older brother Rodrick pick him up in his van after practice. She thought this would help them bond since they had been fighting a lot lately. Rodrick made him sit in the back with his drum set. Greg starts school and everyone remembers that he has the cheese touch, so he gives it to a new student who doesn't know about it yet. Greg is going to go through some interesting things this time, like playing a trick on his friend Chirag, watching while Ridrick throws a party while his parents are away, refusing to tape Rodrick's band at the talent show, and having Rodrick spill Greg's summer secret when he gets mad at him about the talent show.
