I reminded Charlie it had been a couple days since Charlie had sat down and read the allotted time his teacher set for him. I thought I would hear Charlie say I don’t have anything to read.
Charlie surprised me when he went and grabbed his copy of Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Getaway because he had read Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Getaway at the beginning of the year.
Charlie let me know Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Getaway is his favorite book in the Wimpy Kid series. Charlie wanted to read Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Getaway to his dad. Because both Charlie and I would like to get away.
Charlie thought sharing the adventures inside Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Getaway would make David see how much fun getting away with his family could be. I just hope Charlie’s plan works because Summer is right around the corner.
Preview:
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 for some much-needed rest and relaxation. 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. Can their trip be saved, or will this island getaway end in disaster?
