The Third Wheel: Diary of a Wimpy Kid (BK7) [Hardcover] Kinney, Jeff

**The Third Wheel: Diary of a Wimpy Kid (BK7) - Hardcover**

Middle school just got messier! Greg Heffley faces his most awkward predicament yet when the Valentine's Day dance looms and he's hopelessly dateless. While everyone pairs up, Greg scrambles to avoid becoming the dreaded "third wheel." Between Mom's embarrassing attempts to help and his own spectacular social blunders, this seventh installment delivers peak cringe comedy that'll have kids (and parents) snort-laughing.

Jeff Kinney's genius lies in capturing that universal middle-grade mortification we all remember but tried to forget. His cartoon-diary format makes reluctant readers devour books faster than Halloween candy. Perfect for ages 8-12, especially kids navigating friendship drama, school dances, and the general horror of being eleven.

This preloved hardcover from Patina Paperbacks brings you quality children's fiction without the new-book price tag.
