Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Big Shot

In Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Big Shot, the 16th book in Jeff Kinney’s bestselling series, Greg Heffley finds himself pulled into the world of sports—against his better judgment. After a disastrous field day at school, Greg decides to retire from athletics forever… until his mom convinces him to give it one last shot.

He ends up joining a basketball team, even though he’s not exactly star material. As the season progresses, the team struggles hilariously with bad luck, poor skills, and embarrassing defeats. But in true Wimpy Kid fashion, Greg finds himself facing a big game that could change everything.

With Jeff Kinney’s signature illustrations and laugh-out-loud storytelling, Big Shot is a relatable, feel-good book about effort, teamwork, and bouncing back from failure.
