Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth follows Greg Heffley as he enters a new phase of life where things aren’t quite as simple or as funny as before. Middle school gets trickier, friendships shift, and Greg learns (the hard way) that growing up isn’t always what he expected — especially when the truth gets a bit ugly.

Packed with Jeff Kinney’s signature humor, doodles, and diary entries that kids love, this installment blends relatable life lessons with laugh-out-loud moments. Whether it’s awkward conversations with parents, confusing emotions about friends, or everyday mishaps that spiral hilariously out of control, The Ugly Truth captures the ups and downs of growing up in a way that feels real — and very funny.
