Greg Heffley's summer plan is a stay at a waterpark resort, and the trip stops being simple almost as soon as the family arrives.
Told as Greg's illustrated journal, the book mixes short handwritten-style entries with cartoon panels, so the joke often lands in the drawing rather than the sentence. Poolside trouble, crowded water slides and the ordinary friction of a family holiday supply the comedy, with Greg narrating every setback as though it were someone else's fault. The format keeps pages turning for children still building reading stamina.

• A Diary of a Wimpy Kid instalment by Jeff Kinney, written as Greg's illustrated journal
• A family waterpark holiday that comes apart step by step
• Cartoon panels on nearly every page alongside brief diary entries
