Greg gets mad, chasing Rowley to his house and tells him he’ll get him back for that when he least expects it. This book shows Greg's negative traits a lot more deeply and clearly, which caused many fans to criticize Greg's behavior in this book.

While in their sleeping bags, Greg brings up the Goat Man (from The Meltdown), which makes them worried. However, Frank is already outside, and sees Rowley's urine, but thankfully doesn't see or realize it was him. Rowley justifies that the book would be only a page long, then suggests various ideas, like making the autobiography about the both of them, or making a spooky series about solving mysteries.However, because of the force field, Rowley can't go to use the toilet, and a mug on Greg's nighttable gets swiped by Greg, because of his invisible gadgetry, which makes it nearly impossible for Rowley to use the toilet without the risk of getting zapped, or even sneaking past Greg. This is as authentic and funny as the original Wimpy Kid books and makes just as irresistible reading. This may be due to an editing conflict or a large influx of vandalism or spam that may result from being a highly visited page.

Comeuppance predictably arrives when Greg has to give three of his toys to Rowley, which aren't broken this time. While Rowley is well ahead in the chapter they are studying, saying they should do some questions, Greg said they should start from the beginning of the chapter (Greg hadn't even read it), and Rowley predictably thinks it's a waste of time. The Best Friends Box—which includes Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid—is the perfect introduction for those new to the Wimpy Kid world.

In the penultimate diary entry, Rowley has a sleepover at Greg's house, where they sneak out to bounce on a trampoline. He ends up becoming their teacher for the entire school year, and does nothing when kids start goofing off, not doing the assignments that he wrote on the board.
