Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Big Shot (Book 16) – Jeff Kinney

Greg Heffley vs. Sports — What Could Go Wrong?

In Big Shot, Book 16 of the hilarious Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, #1 international bestselling author Jeff Kinney puts Greg Heffley in the last place he ever wanted to be — on a basketball court.

After a disastrous sports competition at school, Greg officially declares himself retired from anything athletic. But his mum has other ideas. Before he knows it, Greg is reluctantly signed up for basketball tryouts — and somehow, against all odds, lands a spot on the worst team in the league.

As the season gets underway, winning even a single game seems impossible. But in sports, anything can happen. When everything is on the line and the ball is in Greg's hands — will he rise to the occasion, or blow his Big Shot?
