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.

My favourite character is Gregory Heffley as he has a great sense of humour. I would definitely recommend this book. It was very funny and actually made me laugh out loud which was a guarantee the book came with. Some of the scenes in the book were quite relatable which is a good characteristic to have because it helps you to understand the book better.
