The book that I have chosen to read is "DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: HARD LUCK". This book in one interesting and funny book. I couldn't stop laughing and somehow relating this book to my life while reading this book. I highly recommend this book to whoever out there that has a taste for humor. Following what happened in The Third Wheel, this book follows Greg Heffley as he finds himself facing a new streak of bad luck and a whole new set of challenges to face in his life. His best friend Rowley Jefferson,has betrayed him and is also currently ditching him for Abigail, and Greg is finding it extremely difficult to find new friends. His mother tells him that friends come and go, but family is forever. Greg, though, believes that he and his family weren't meant to be.

Greg is upset that things that he and Rowley like to do are now over because Abigail won't let Rowley do them. Things like the Five-Second Rule and French Fry Fridays are now a thing of the past bacause Abigail moved to the Couple's Table in the canteen and brought Rowley with her as he is her boyfriend, which is mostly empty, now that every couple that went to the Valentine's Dance together in the previous book, have broken up. Rowley, though, believes Greg is just jealous. And now, Greg desperately needs a friend who can replace Rowley, someone who can write in cursive-and scout for dog poop.

Greg needs a good friend who carries his books. But since Rowley is carrying Abigail's books,Greg uses his father's roller bag. His mother tells him that childhood friends don't always last forever, but Greg wants one friend to stay with to appreciate him when he gets older. But the Slumber Party Pals books just tell him guy and girl friendships are just too different to accept.

Before Rowley and Greg are enrolled to Superhero Training Academy, they were professional skaters . Afterwards, different clubs are introduced, all of them trying to make recess the best they can. The game, Girls Chase Boys, and its opponent, Boys Chase Girls, is also shown. Hero Points are also shown, but are crossed out very early, because Erik gets a hold of them, and creates copies for kids to buy.

During the visit of Mom's family, Greg sleeps in Rodrick's room on the ground. There he finds Rodrick's old Magic 8 Ball. That changes his life. WELL FOR AWHILE AT LEAST...

Later, Greg considers buying a science fair project (since he has no idea on what to do) from a group of bad kids, who made themselves a shop at the storage room which they sell old book reports, history projects, etc. but Greg changes his mind once he thinks about the possibility of getting caught. Greg is glad he did, because someone ratted the kids out and the Teachers raided the storage room. The consequences for the kids involve detention every school day for the rest of the year, and possibly an automatic trip to summer school.

In the end of the book, Greg breaks his Magic 8 Ball. Greg and Rowley become close friends again, or at least until another fight starts up down the road, but for now, things are good.
