This latest instalment of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid is the 11th book in the series.
Greg Heffley, the ‘hero’ of the book for all intents and purposes, tells more tales of the struggles of growing up.
Double Down takes the reader on a journey with Greg and his best friend, Rowley, as Greg’s parents strongly encourage him to do just about anything to keep him busy and broaden his horizons.
When the pressure keeps piling up on him, Greg sets his sights on proving that he’s capable of doing more.
Greg finds and old video camera and plans to create a scary movie, which he hopes will make him rich and famous, with the help of Rowley.
He sets out to prove that he’s got some big-time talent.
With sketches of their adventures on almost every page, this book proves to be fit for young children up to teenage level.
A comical take on a boy with high hopes to accomplish what seems to be ridiculous, to those around him.
An entertaining story that boys and girls alike will have a fun time reading; and possibly learn from the failures and mishaps.
