The Ugly Truth

　　Greg Heffley has always been in a hurry to grow up. But is getting older really all it’s cracked up to be?

　　Greg suddenly finds himself dealing with the pressures of boy-girl parties, increased responsibilities, and even the awkward changes that come with getting older—all without his best friend, Rowley, at his side. Can Greg make it through on his own? Or will he have to face the “ugly truth”?
