Product Details

About the Book

Greg Heffley and his family are getting out of town. With the cold weather and the stress of the approaching holiday season, the Heffleys decide to escape to a tropical island resort called Isla de Corales for some much-needed rest and relaxation instead of staying home for Christmas. At first, the resort seems like heaven — an amazing tropical getaway that even has a TV above the bathtub. 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 critters all threaten to ruin the family's vacation, and things spiral further when Greg accidentally switches baggage with another traveler, leading to a series of escalating mishaps — including getting ejected from the resort for theft and being forced to spend the night at an airport hotel. Can their trip be saved, or will this island getaway end in complete disaster?
