Tryouts are a mess, and Greg is sure he won’t make the cut. But he unexpectedly lands a spot on the worst team.

As Greg and his new teammates start the season, their chances of winning even a single game look slim. But in sports, anything can happen. When everything is on the line and the ball is in Greg’s hands, will he rise to the occasion? Or will he blow his big shot?

Kinney's fondness for these characters shines through in this accomplished installment. . .The gags are good, the characters endear, and the story crackles. . .Another winning shot for the well-oiled Wimpy Kid machine.

I think the book is good and is different from the others because greg has good luck.

YOU HAVE TO READ THIS!

I thought big shot was a really good book because Greg's mom was pushing him to join a sport so he decided to sign up for basketball. He tried to fail tryouts but he ended up on a team. So he is a middle school kid who has to play a season but he and his team arnt that good but he has 1 actual good player on his team that carry all of the other players on Greg's team.
