Kate Cullen - 2015
Rino James is the thinking boy’s Greg Heffley (aka wimpy kid). He’s fanatical with all things computer. He’s mad about Minecraft, he’s crazy over Xbox, and he’s obsessed with the PlayStation. There’s only one thing in this whole world that could make his life better (apart from sending his annoying sister back to the baby making farm), and it has nothing to do with computer games. As usual, his parents do their best to prevent it from happening. According to Rino, their idea of fun, doesn't quite match his idea of fun. In fact, he believes his Mom has a built in Siri message centre to alert her when he is having a good time, so she can detonate disaster for him. In the second of the series, what starts off as an awesome week with plenty of gaming promise, soon turns sour when a new teacher, obsessed with running, replaces Mr Higginbottom, and an All-night Gaming Marathon at Matthew’s, is replaced with a family trip that makes the Wimpy kids ‘long haul’ look like a limo ride to Disneyland. What happens at the end is nothing short of devastating and miraculous all in one. The main question is ‘does Rino live to tell the tale?’ Girls will love this book just as much as boys, despite its name. Be prepared for lots of side splitting laughter, but don’t be surprised if you shed the odd tear as well.
