Echt ubel!

In Jeff Kinney's eighth book in the Greg's Diary series, "Echt übel!", protagonist Greg gets into trouble. Rupert has found a girlfriend and turned away from Greg. This situation leads to numerous problems in the boy's everyday life. First of all, Greg now feels that he is not as important as before. This becomes particularly noticeable on his daily way to school. Until now, Rupert had planned the route and warned his friends about dog droppings. Now Greg has to manage on his own and of course steps right into the next dog poop. But this loss also affects social aspects. Without Rupert, Greg suddenly no longer has a best friend with whom he can spend his time. Instead of having fun together, he now has to entertain himself alone and finds that quite boring. It becomes clear that the separation from Rupert has real consequences for Greg's life. He has to adapt and try to cope without his best friend. Whether he has found a plan or not remains open. In summary, Jeff Kinney offers in his novel "Echt übel!" a story about the loss of friendship and the associated difficulties.

The novel offers many situations that are based on real experiences and are therefore easy to understand. Even if Greg's Diary 8 - Echt übel! is certainly not everyone's taste, it can still be recommended. It provides entertainment and fun for readers who are willing to immerse themselves in Greg's life.
