Diary of a Wimpy Kid Old School

This is the book I read. In Diary of a Wimpy Kid Old School, Greg experiences lots of things. To start it all off, Greg's grandfather moves in because the rent at his retirement home, Leisure Towers, was raised, and he couldn't afford to live there anymore. This is a problem for Greg because his father is more stressed out with their grandfather around. Meanwhile, Greg's  mom made a petition to make to days of the weekend "technology free," and on those days, while basically the whole community was cleaning up the park, Greg and his friend Rowley were selling lemonade. That didn't work out, so they went to selling water and decided that they would go to the park to sell it because people would probably going to be thirsty, but Greg's mom stopped them. While Greg and his mom were arguing, people who were doing gardening took the water and used it on the plants, so Greg's mom gave him a rake to do yard work. After that park clean-up, Greg's dad left on a business trip. When Greg was brushing his teeth, he remembered that his dad got mad at him for not putting the cap on the toothpaste, and when he went to do it, the cap fell down the drain. Greg ended up unscrewing a pipe without turning off the water, and when he turned it off, water was all over the floor, and it was leaking through the kitchen floor. The only person who was of legal age to drive was Greg's grandfather who told him that he would drive him to the store to get paint that would take away the water damage. Greg's grandfather didn't pass his last driving test, and it showed because he was driving on the wrong side of the road. Greg decided to go to the camp that he was refusing to go to before so he could escape the anger of his dad. At the camp, people were talking about this farmer who lived on the camp grounds and got kicked out. They called him Silas Scratch. In the end, after Rowley and his dad had to leave the camp, Greg's dad became an emergency chaperone, Greg found a shack when he was going to fetch firewood. The shack had a bathroom with a working shower, and Greg found his dad. He told his story about finding the shack and making up the story of Silas Scratch so nobody would go near the shack. This book has 217 pages.
