Jeff Kinney's Big Shot Drive-Thru Tour is an innovative, family-friendly series of outdoor events themed around the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid #16: Big Shot. Load up your whole family and join a veritable conga line of cars for a pandemic-safe meet-the-author experience like no other. The Big Shot Drive-Thru Tour events bring the world of Wimpy Kid to life directly to fans. From the comfort and safety of their own vehicle, families will drive through the event experience following beloved characters Greg and Rowley as they explore Field Day, shoot and score, and strive for the gold, all before reaching the finish line where Jeff Kinney personally delivers children their signed copy of Big Shot. It's a home run!

In Big Shot, Greg Heffley and sports just don’t mix.

After a disastrous field day competition at school, Greg decides that when it comes to his athletic career, he’s officially retired. But after his mom urges him to give sports one more chance, he reluctantly agrees to sign up for basketball.

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?
