Summary

This is the tenth book of the Diary of  A Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney.  


Greg Hefley is the main character.  He is in middle school.  He has an older brother named Roderick and a younger brother named Manny.  His best friend is Rowley.

The book starts out with Greg's mom talking about "the good old days."  She said that people did not use electronics as much back then.  They talked more with their neighbors.  His mom went around their town trying to get people to not use their electronics as much.

The first week of school Greg decided to sign up for the Homework Buddies club because did not want to go to music class.  His buddy was a boy named Frew.  Frew was a very smart boy.  Frew did all of his homework plus Greg's homework while Greg relaxed.

The school asked Greg's parents to come in for a conference because his grades were so good.  His grades were good because Frew was doing all his homework.



Greg's mom got some people from the town to not use electronics for the weekend.  They went to the park to clean it up to help pass the time.  Greg got in trouble when he ran away with Frew and a teenager named Billy.  His mom was mad because she had to use her phone to find him.

Greg signed up to go on a school fieldtrip to Hardscrabble Farms because he got in trouble.  He really didn't want to go because he heard scary things about a person called Silas Scratch and the bathrooms were gross.  His best friend Rowley got poison ivy and had to go home.  Then his Dad came to be the new chaperone.

Greg snuck into the woods and found his dad in a shack with a really nice bathroom.  He told Greg he made up the story about Silas Scratch when he was little so no one would find out about the nice bathroom. Greg kept his secret and when he left the camp he made a sign that said "Beware Silas Scratch" for other campers to see.
