This is the sixth Diary of a Wimpy Kid book.
Greg is worried – it’s only a few weeks until Christmas, and he’s worried about Santa checking in on him at the wrong time. He gets some crazy ideas about how to raise some money, but of course it goes awry and now he’s a wanted criminal. As the police close in, a snowstorm blows in, granting Greg a reprieve – or is it? After a few days of being snowed in with his family, he’s starting to think jail doesn’t sound so bad!
As always, this DOAWK book is excellent. I love Greg and how even when he tries to do the right thing, it winds up backfiring on him. There seemed to be more drawings in this one, which was cool, and the situations Greg deals with are so true, and that’s what make them funny (it IS creepy that Santa can see you all the time, I never understood why grown-ups didn’t think that was weird!) A 9.5 from me for a wonderfully entertaining book.
