Summary
GREG HEFFLEY AND SPORTS JUST DON'T MIX。
After a disastrous competition at school， Greg decides that he's officially retired from ANY kind of sport！ That is， until his mom persuades him to give it one more go and makes Greg reluctantly agree to sign up for basketball。
Tryouts are a MESS， and Greg is sure he won't make the cut。 But he unexpectedly lands a spot on the worst team。
As Greg and his new teammates start the season， their chances of winning even a single game look slim。 But in sports， anything can happen。 When everything is on the line and the ball is in Greg's hands， will he rise to the occasion？ Or will he blow his big shot？

Greg joins a basketball team。 Wholesome， hilarious， and， as an athlete， shocked faces。

Books like these make reading fun if your kid doesn't like reading on their own。 It's like a giant comic strip。 We both enjoyed it and kept wanting to read more。 Books like these make reading fun if your kid doesn't like reading on their own。 It's like a giant comic strip。 We both enjoyed it and kept wanting to read more。 。。。more

And the series has done it again - one can never be too old to read the Wimpy Kid！ The creativity level in this series is amazing

Boring but that might be because I’m not the intended audience （8 year old boy）。 Don’t care much for sports， hoping the next one is more interesting。

Copy provided by Young Adult Books CentralAs squirrely as Greg is， he's never been portrayed as a sports fanatic， and we find out why in Big Shot。 No matter what sport he's tried， from soccer as a kindergartner to baseball to field day， he's been a spectacular failure。 This is fine as far as he is concerned; sports， to him， are more about the snacks。 He'd much rather be playing video games， but his mother， a former basketball player， is determined to get him to play something。 Eventually， he ag Copy provided by Young Adult Books CentralAs squirrely as Greg is， he's never been portrayed as a sports fanatic， and we find out why in Big Shot。 No matter what sport he's tried， from soccer as a kindergartner to baseball to field day， he's been a spectacular failure。 This is fine as far as he is concerned; sports， to him， are more about the snacks。 He'd much rather be playing video games， but his mother， a former basketball player， is determined to get him to play something。 Eventually， he agrees to try out for a basketball team， thinking that there is no chance he will make it。 When star player Preet doesn't make the team because he's out of town for try outs， his father puts together a team of all of the players who were cut。。。 including Greg！ They are predictably bad， have horrible gym schedules， and can't even hold their own against a group of older men who are practicing in the gym they've reserved。 They don't win a single game。 When Greg's mother finds out about a tournament for teams that haven't won a single game， she is eager to enter them， hoping that under her coaching， they will be able to win and she can rectify her own fraught basketball past。Like most Wimpy Kid books， this is a bit light on plot， focusing instead of humorous anecdotes about situations such as Greg at his father's gym， an unlikely Field Day fixing scheme， an adventure at a major league baseball stadium， and a rivalry with the nearby town of Slacksville。 This narrative structure must be wildly appealing to the target demographic， but causes me to struggle。 Big Shot has more of a plot arc than Hard Luck， but not as much as The Getaway。 We see very little of Rowley in this installment， which is okay。 I worry about his toxic relationship with Greg， but here he only has to deal with Greg hosting him for "tasting parties" for the weird snacks his mother buys。 Haddock Skin Chips， Sweet Potato Cookies or Seaweed Bars， anyone？ Greg does try his best to be a good team mate and sportsman， even if his efforts are sometimes misguided。 There is even some talk of the team getting together again， but Greg thinks it might be wise to quite while he's ahead。 The big appeal of these books is partly due to the line illustrations and hand drawn style of font that gave rise to the trend of Notebook Novels。 Other competitors in this field are Peirce's Big Nate， Kalicky's My Life in Smiley， and Pichon's Tom Gates， which have similar formats but differing levels of plot and character development。 With the addition of sports， even with Greg's somewhat negative take on them， this will be a hugely popular title。 。。。more

The 16th book in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series。 Greg plays basketball。 Humorous and entertaining middle grade book。

Big Shot or should I say Big Failure is a book with a incredibly stupid plot no side story's here。 Big Shot which I will now start calling Big Failure， sucks like hot garbage combined with abominations and true monstrosity’s of literature。Big Failure is basically the first book except about basketball， or basically as bad as the Third Wheel。 This book proves that Greg’s mom is， and probably still will be a Karen， or she will be a OADMTNPTA which stands for Obnoxiously Annoying Desperate Mother T Big Shot or should I say Big Failure is a book with a incredibly stupid plot no side story's here。 Big Shot which I will now start calling Big Failure， sucks like hot garbage combined with abominations and true monstrosity’s of literature。Big Failure is basically the first book except about basketball， or basically as bad as the Third Wheel。 This book proves that Greg’s mom is， and probably still will be a Karen， or she will be a OADMTNPTA which stands for Obnoxiously Annoying Desperate Mother That Needs Psychiatric Therapy ASAP。 This book also makes another point about how Greg is the dumbest dude in Middle School because he doesn’t know that food companies scam you， so yeah， basically Greg is idiotically dumb and stupid and should go back to PFW which stands for Preschool For Weenies/ Geeks that are dumb at frighteningly idiotic levels。 This book is the exterminator of brain cells， the giver of stupidity or/and loss of common sense， the demolisher of being smart， and/or a crimson knight bat man that destroys all who read it。 。。。more

I really liked this book because it talks about sports。 It was funny and embarrassing for Greg。 My feelings about this book is that I am very happy that the author made this book。 My thoughts on this book is that I'm glad the author can be creative for continuing this series。 These are my thought and things on this book。 I really liked this book because it talks about sports。 It was funny and embarrassing for Greg。 My feelings about this book is that I am very happy that the author made this book。 My thoughts on this book is that I'm glad the author can be creative for continuing this series。 These are my thought and things on this book。 。。。more

M's review: Liked it because it has stuff about winning， cheering and teamwork。 4 stars because of the handwriting （font） in the book。 It could be better。 M's review: Liked it because it has stuff about winning， cheering and teamwork。 4 stars because of the handwriting （font） in the book。 It could be better。 。。。more

Went to revisit a childhood classic series with new eyes。 Still love it。 The humour is surprisingly witty and adults may find themselves laughing along with young readers。
