Remember how I said that if some jerk caught me carrying a book with ‘diary’ on the cover they were gonna get the wrong idea?
Well, that’s exactly what happened today.

Now that Rodrick knows I have another journal, I better remember to keep this one locked up. Rodrick actually got ahold of my last journal . . . But don’t even get me started on THAT story. Even without my Rodrick problems, my summer was pretty lousy.

Whatever you do, don’t ask me how I spent my summer vacation because I definitely don’t want to talk about it.

It's a brand-new year and a brand-new journal and Greg is keen to put the humiliating (and secret!) events of last summer firmly behind him. But someone knows everything - someone whose job it is to most definitely not keep anything embarrassing of Greg's private - his big brother, Rodrick. How can Greg make it through this new school year with his cool(ish) reputation intact?
