Diary of a Wimpy Kid Cabin Fever by Jeff Kinney

Cabin Fever is yet another installment of the Wimpy Kid saga, and like all the others is guaranteed to make you laugh. These books get rave reviews, and having read almost all of them, I would say it's because of the humorous illustrations and clever stories that are brilliantly linked with each other. What might seem like a pointless tangent will actually be an integral part of the novel. This series is one of my favorites, and I hope the author will continue for a long time.

In this stage of the series, Christmas is approaching and everyone is scrambling to get ready. Greg (the protagonist) is disappointed to have to go back to school, and needs money to pay for presents. Having no money of his own, he tries several ideas to attempt to earn some cash, from shoveling driveways(and being thwarted by nature, as always) to starting his own newspaper. When he and best friend Rowley attempt to put up posters advertiSing their paper on the school walls, they are almost caught and try to take them down, ut they have left permanent stains. They flee and try to lay low.

A search begins for the "vandals", and the police are called in. Greg is nervous he will have to face the music, but suddenly a blizzard hits and everyone is trapped inside. The question becomes, which is worse: giving yourself up or having to spend the holidays with your family? I don't like to spoil things, so I'll let you read it for yourself. Overall, just another hit in a great series that I hope continues for a long, longtime.
