Average rating
The new hilarious story from Jeff Kinney is the best yet in the brilliant, bestselling Diary of a Wimpy Kid series!
Greg Heffley and his family are getting out of town.
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 the Heffleys 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 this Christmas. With engaging writing, hilarious illustrations on every page and an action-packed holiday-based plot, THE GETAWAY is a winner.

I liked it..it was just anytime it showed Rodrick with that sunburn thing it made me feel quite queasy but the seahorse picture was really funny. Do seahorses even say neigh? And the box jellyfish is a powerful creature like Damn well I mean you learn something new everyday (that last line sounded like Susan)
