Rowley’s absence is felt, the humour works better with Greg’s sidekick around. Greg is as usual self centred and finds things never go quite as he would like. In some ways it is a retelling of the Long Haul and the Heffleys come across as borderline criminals. This is the 12th book of the Wimpy Kid series, a 14th book is due out around now, and the series shows no signs of stopping any time soon, if you have read the others you know more or less the formula. Greg’s mom is eternally optimistic, Rodrick wants to escape the family for some teen smooching, Manny is busy collecting some of the local marine fauna and Greg’s dad really shouldn’t have drunk unbottled water. There are many hilarious scenes as Greg and his family go from one disaster to another. What can go wrong when venturing to paradise? Well for Greg and his kinsfolk just about everything. ![]() This is not the first time the Wimpy Kid Diaries have shown the Heffleys on a family vacation, there was also “The Long Haul”, but that was more of a road trip, now Greg has to go on a plane for the first time.Greg knows the score anytime you add the word family to something you know things are gonna be bad. Greg thought this would be a TERRIBLE idea and as usual Greg is right. Greg’s parents had spent their honeymoon there and decided it would be a great idea to skip Christmas and all go to Isla de Corales instead. Greg is looking forward to Christmas, but his parents see an ad on TV for a tropical paradise called “Isla de Corales”. ![]()
