Product Information

He performs terribly at tryouts, but he manages to make it onto a team, with coach Mr. Patel. He had got his son Preet, who is incredibly skilled at the sport onto the team as well (Preet had to miss tryouts due to his uncle's funeral, so Mr. Patel created a team with the kids who were cut from tryouts so his son could play). The team has difficulties practicing, and their court is rented out by another club. In Big Shot, book 16 of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series from #1 international bestselling author Jeff Kinney, Greg Heffley and sports just don’t mix.

Unfortunately, I had already manifested, through my furiously dancing fingertips, a 2,700 word essay pointing out the ignorance I felt strongly present in the magazine article, only to find there was no way to share it — cue Medium.com. I create a story without tags and no images that will serve as a table of contents for a subsection of the book. The title is the section name, or name of the sequence of “stories” that I have cut a long section of text into. The subtitle is just “Table of Contents.” You can then add hyperlinked titles and optional short descriptions to construct your table of contents. Meanwhile, Kinney and his staff are also busy gearing up for the December 3 debut of the highly anticipated Disney+ original animated movie version of Diary of Wimpy Kid, written and produced by Kinney, and directed by Swinton Scott. The movie is based on the story of the first book. That's always my favorite story to hear—when I hear parents talk about how they bonded with their kids over the stories,” Kinney said. “I love it that a kid can say, ‘Hey, look at this thing that happened to Greg Heffley,’ and a parent can say, ‘Well, something like that happened to me when I was a kid.’ I think those kind of moments connect us in a really special, intimate way.” The pressure's really piling up on Greg Heffley. His mum thinks video games are turning his brain to mush, so she wants her son to put down the controller and explore his "creative side".

They are all relieved when the season ends, but Mrs. Heffley wants Mr. Patel to take the team to a second-chance tournament. When he declines, Mrs. Heffley buys new jerseys for the team and takes the players herself. The tournament is not played in the traditional way. This time, the team members are allowed to leave only after they win a game. This means that only one of the teams will walk away without winning a single game. It comes down to Greg's team against the Funky Dunkers when Preet walks in. He is no longer on crutches, but he is wearing a protective boot. He is still the best player on Greg's team. Preet injures one of the Funky Dunkers with his boot, putting that player out of the game. They are going to have to forfeit, but Mrs. Heffley offers to let Greg join the Funky Dunkers' team. When he accidentally gets the ball, he is desperate to get rid of it and makes a three-point goal for his new team, earning them the victory. For the first time, Greg is a hero and understands the draw of being part of a sports team. The Funky Dunkers take Greg with them for ice cream. They discuss the possibility of getting together to play again, but Greg knows “sometimes you should just quit while you're ahead” (217). But even the worst road trip can turn into an adventure ­- and this is going to be one that the Heffleys will never forget! Will Greg be able to survive a week out in the wild? Or will his school trip be a complete DISASTER? The eighth laugh-out-loud, fully-illustrated Diary of a Wimpy Kid book from #1 international bestselling author Jeff Kinney !

The line “Do you want to publish a book on Medium?” at the top of this story, under the main image, is an example of what it looks like, although I didn’t place a link on it. Finally, the medium apps allow readers to bookmark a story, and even archive it for later use, both of which are useful in reading your publication as a book.Field Day turns out to be a large disaster, as teachers trade students to give them an advantage, students are paid to fail in the game, and ultimately, the lunch staff wins the day.
