Poetry Anthology was a book that includes thousands of low-quality poems written by kids in Double Down. The book was supposed to be a book for some of the greatest poems in the country, but it turned out that anyone could submit their poems on it, high-quality or not.
When Greg Heffley writes a poem called "My Silly Summer", Susan Heffley thought it was good and sent his poem to the National Poetry Council, and it was accepted. Greg for a short time felt like he was a poet. However, he discovers it to be a letdown when he receives the book.
The book was 80 dollars and included a lot of different poems from kids in varying qualities such as "My Turtle Fred". Susan didn't see it as a scam at first and bought 10 copies to relatives, however figures out the scam after the National Poetry Council kept calling her to buy more books.[1]
Later on, the books are used to reach high places, helping Greg discover stashes of gummy worms and setting up the main plot at the end of the book.[2]
