Diary of a Wimpy Kid #12: The Getaway Award-winning author

‘The world has gone crazy for Jeff Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid’ – Sun

Greg Heffley and his family are getting out of town in the twelfth instalment of Jeff Kinney’s bestselling series.

The only holidays I want to hear about are the ones where things went WRONG. That way, I don’t feel bad about missing out.

With the cold weather setting in and the stress of the Christmas holiday approaching, the Heffleys decide to escape to a tropical island resort for some much-needed rest and relaxation.

A few days in paradise should do wonders for Greg and his frazzled family.

But they soon discover that paradise isn’t everything it’s cracked up to be. Sun-poisoning, stomach troubles and venomous creatures all threaten to ruin the family’s vacation.

Can their trip be saved, or will this island getaway end in disaster?

Whether a loyal fan already or new to the Wimpy Kid books, THE GETAWAY is the perfect book for young readers of 7+, whether they love to read or need a bit more encouragement.

With engaging writing, hilarious illustrations on every page and an action-packed holiday-based plot, THE GETAWAY is a winner.
