Plot

Gregory timmy timmy timmy 











































































































































































































































Heffley receives a diary from his mother, which he refers to as a journal and in it records his first year of middle school. The book begins with an introduction where Greg explains "the cheese touch". It is very similar to the cooties, only more intense. Greg writes that a student named Darren Walsh touched "the cheese" an old, moldy piece of cheese on the schoolyard with his finger thus becoming an outcast. The cheese touch is then passed around the school.

They end up being chased by some teenagers they taunted all the way to Greg's grandmother's house. They then get soaked by a trashcan full of water by Greg's father who mistakes them for teenagers. Christmas does not get much better for Greg and he becomes jealous when he sees his younger brother Manny get everything he wanted. Meanwhile Greg ends up with a weight lifting set his dad got him along with socks and books. His uncle got Greg a picture for Christmas. Rowley gets the video game that Greg wanted. Greg also created the comic "Zoo-Wee Mama," which he gets bored of and abandons to allow Rowley to start drawing. Near the end of the school year "Zoo Wee Mama" is published in the school's newspaper. Rowley gives no credit to Greg as the creator of the comic which causes Greg to be very envious. The two prepare to fight on the school grounds when they are interrupted by the teenagers who ambushed them on Halloween.
