Educational Value

Some facts about how to camp and hike safely in bear country and what to do if you're sprayed by a skunk. Greg gives his impression of the Noah's Ark and Garden of Eden stories. Plus Greg's fascination with toilets taken to a new level when he learns what happens to waste in a camper and how it's removed.

Positive Messages

Strong messages about the importance of family time and how misadventures sometimes make a vacation special.

Positive Role Models

Greg gets in some minor trouble here when he hangs around with a group of kids at the RV park. The kids make a mess of the camp store when they're chased by teens, but most are caught and have to make amends. Their other antics are pretty harmless, like sneaking shampoo onto a man's head in the camp shower. It's usually the whole family getting into trouble in this one for not following rules -- camping in the wrong places, setting off a flare in the woods, etc. Potty humor abounds, but stays pretty tame. Some diversity here: A friend of Greg's at the RV park is in a wheelchair. Plus Greg notes a few times about difficult financial circumstances: His family is staying in his grandma's basement while his house is fixed and they need to spend very little on their vacation.

Violence & Scariness

A capsized canoe, bees attack teens, kids have fistfights for fun with no real injuries, Dad gets a burn from a flaming marshmallow. A lightning storm strands travelers who panic and buy out the camp store. A flash flood and a camper engulfed by water. Greg gets lost in the woods. Kids fight each other with giant squirt guns and watermelons. A scary story around a campfire about a mysterious creature and a missing dog. A story about a kid sucked dry by mosquitoes.

Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Deep End is the 15th book in the best-selling Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney . Like the ninth book, The Long Haul , and the 12th book, The Getaway , Wimpy Kid Greg is on a family trip. This time the Heffleys need a budget-friendly vacation and borrow their uncle's abandoned RV. Outdoor hijinks ensue with capsized canoes, animal encounters, lighting storms and flash floods, flaming marshmallow burns, squirt-gun battles and friendly fistfights, and a panicked run on the camp store when the RV park gets cut off from civilization. Potty humor abounds, thanks to Greg's fascination with their RV's sewage tank, but it never gets too gross. There's also some implied nudity with two scenes in the all-gender stall shower area of the RV park, and an incident with lost swim trunks in a river. In two drawings, adults are shown drinking together, beer and mixed drinks, but it's not overt. Kids who haven't been camping before (like Greg) will learn a bit about how to hike and camp in bear country and what to do in skunk encounters. Like the other two family trip Wimpy Kid books, there are lessons here about the importance of family time and how sometimes it's the misadventures that make vacations special.

Can a holiday really go down too deep?

What's the story.

In DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: THE DEEP END, Wimpy Kid Greg Heffley and family decide they need a summer vacation and don't have a lot of money. It's a stroke of luck when Grandma offers them their uncle's RV that's been sitting in her driveway for two years. Only problem is that the Heffleys don't know how to navigate the world of camping, national forests, and RV parks. There are all kinds of rules about where you can park your RV, how to camp safely in bear country, how and when to empty your sewer tank, how to navigate a canoe around catapulted watermelons... and much more. As the misadventures and missed showers and missing swim trunks start to add up, the Heffleys wonder if they should have left home at all.

Is It Any Good?

Kids who go on wilderness vacations with their families will relate to this funny yet predictable 15th Wimpy Kid installment. It's predictable the moment Greg mentions his fear of bears in the national forest and again when a skunk visits the RV park. Of course misadventures ensue. And of course Greg fixates on the plumbing of the RV -- at least that part doesn't get too gross. Thanks, Jeff Kinney, for that. It's also a boon that all the tomfoolery in the RV park is pretty tame. It's the kind of more innocent fun you have at camp or camping if you happen to have a stash of water guns, a catapult, and some watermelons.

As the tension mounts near the end, it's hilarious when Manny, Greg's preschool-age brother, saves the day -- and it's not the first time on that trip, either. Mom gets the short end of the stick in this installment, though. Usually she's the glue that keeps the family grounded and here she ends up thwarted in all her attempts to make the vacation meaningful. Maybe someday she'll get that perfect family picture for social media that she's after, but not this trip.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

Families can talk about why Greg's mom wants the ideal family photo in The Deep End. Greg says it's because she's on social media looking at other people's "perfect" family pictures. Does your family feel pressure to have a social media image? Why or why not?

Greg's mom buys a contraption that locks away Greg's and Rodrick's electronics. Does your family limit screen time on vacations? Or do you enjoy extra screen time?

Which is your favorite Heffley family trip? The car trip in The Long Haul, the tropical getaway in The Getaway, or the rustic RV vacation in The Deep End? Where would you want to go with the Heffleys next?

Review: diary of a wimpy kid: the deep end.

Title: Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Deep End Author: Jeff Kinney Publisher: Puffin, $14.99 Publication Date: 27 October 2020 Format: Paperback ISBN: 9780143796084 For ages: 7 - 12 Type: Junior Fiction

Book Review: Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Deep End

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Deep End book jacket

The main gist of the fifteenth book by Jeff Kinney, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Deep End, is that Greg Heffley and his family have been living in their grandmother's basement ever since some "financial issues" surfaced in the previous book. Ergo, there house was destroyed by a hot tub falling through their roof. Anyways, the conditions in which they are living in are not only uncomfortable for Greg, but also extremely boring. He has to not only face being cramped in a basement with his family all summer, but he can't even go hang out with his best friend Rowley because he and his family are on a trip to Europe. The family comes to the conclusion that they need a vacation, but the problem is that they are in strict money-saving mode. With a stroke of luck, they are able to find opportunity when Greg's Dad's brother, Uncle Gary, leaves an old RV in Greg's great grandmother's driveway. They clean it out, buy supplies, and hit the open road. On the way to finding their perfect camping paradise, they hit many road-bumps such as finding a place to park the RV, getting lost in the woods, and having a run in with a bear. Finally, they find Campers Eden, which is an RV park and resort where it seems that they can enjoy the perfect vacation. Will things turn out the way they think, or will they go off, "The Deep End."

Personally, I fairly enjoyed this book despite the fact that I am probably older than most of the audience that enjoys it. I find that the simple humor and writing is a good thing to help me relax at night and give me a laugh at the same time. The main reason why I picked this book to read was because I had been reading the books since third grade and like to keep up with them even though they are not quite at my reading level anymore. The only thing that I didn't enjoy about this book was it was the same basic story for the Long Haul which was the ninth book in the Wimpy Kid franchise. In the Long Haul the family decides to take a trip during their summer vacation so their family could bond. Besides this fact, the book was a fairly decent read. It was not necessarily the best book I have read this year, but it was a definite nice taste of nostalgia and humor. I would recommend this book for anyone in the second grade or higher. It is what I would call a timeless and easy read.

The Deep End Summary & Study Guide

The Deep End Summary & Study Guide Description

The following version of the book was used to create this study guide:Heffley, Greg; Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Deep End. ABRAMS Books, New York, NY, 2020. Kindle AZW file.

Greg Heffley and his family are living in Gramma's basement while their new house is being built, and the basement is beginning to feel really cramped. Greg's parents, his older brother Roderick, and his younger brother Manny are in the single room abiding by Gramma's rules, including that they stay out of sight when she has friends over. Greg is at the mercy of Manny's early bedtime and is sharing a futon bed with Roderick. They are often bored though Mom assures them they are benefiting from using their imaginations. Dad is working from home and the family is on a tight budget but Mom is determined they will do something fun as a family. They discover Greg's Uncle Gary has abandoned a motor home and that it provides the perfect opportunity to get away from Gramma's basement.

Their adventure begins with a trip to the store for camping supplies and the clerk's advice makes Greg uneasy. He tells them how to avoid bears and ticks, and sells them a snakebite kit, flare gun, and compass. By the time they check out, Greg is worried about all the things that might happen. They spend hours cleaning up the motorhome then set out in search of adventure. They have a few misadventures at first, including overcrowded campgrounds and taking a swim in a fish hatchery pond. At the next campground, they float down a river that also becomes very crowded and ends with Greg losing his swim trunks.

They stop next at a national forest where they are the only campers in sight. Greg briefly becomes lost but finds his way, then Dad scares them with a spooky story around the campfire. When a bear arrives, Manny scares it away with a flare gun. A park ranger then makes them leave the park, saying the flare could have started a forest fire. They consider calling it quits but find another campground, this one called Campers' Eden. There are lots of activities and amenities, including a pool, a lake, an arcade, and a camp store. However, there are also lots of other campers and the Heffley family winds up in the economy row at the back of the campground. Greg sets out to check out the place while Dad drains the sewage tank and sets up the motorhome. He soon discovers that everyone is running wild with no regard to rules, and no one is trying to enforce the rules. When Mom insists, Greg spends time playing with a group of boys about his age. They are having fun until they get in trouble for spraying soda around the snack bar, then Greg discovers the others are willing to tell on him to save themselves.

When a storm suddenly arrives, Greg rushes back to the motorhome where he discovers a skunk is inside with his family. They all stink that night and Greg goes to the store the next morning in search of supplies to eliminate the smell. He discovers everyone is panicking because the only bridge leading to the campground has washed out, meaning they are all stranded there. As campers panic and the situation becomes dangerous, the Heffleys decide to take their chances crossing the nearby stream. The storm has made the water too deep, however, and the motorhome washes downstream until Manny heroically turns the wheel, lodging the motorhome in place of the damaged bridge, allowing all the other campers to leave the campground. That's when Greg and his family discover that Campers' Eden really is a paradise campground, as long as they are the only campers.

Diary of a wimpy kid: the deep end.

Year Published

Diary scribe Greg Heffley and his family hit the road for a cross-country camping trip. But their visions of Camping-topia turn to Camping-geddon when one disaster after another leads them to an RV park that’s not exactly a summertime paradise. The Heffleys wonder if they can save their vacation—or if they’re already in too deep.

Plot Summary

In this 15 th entry in the Wimpy Kid book series, diary scribe Greg Heffley tells us about one summer vacation that almost got washed out. For reasons he doesn’t go into (something unfortunate and disastrous back at the Heffley homestead), the whole family is crammed into Gramma’s basement for the summer. And there’s no bathroom down there (which can be a real problem when Gramma is entertaining and demands that the family stay down out of sight).

Fortunately, there’s an old RV of Greg’s Uncle’s that might solve the family’s basement-dwelling problems. If the Heffleys could just clean it out and stock it up, they could well be on their way to some driving-and-camping summer joy. And educational, family togetherness, Mom reminds them. Though, frankly, the last thing Greg and his older brother Rodrick are thinking about is education! Or being together. But no matter what happens, Greg is flat-out certain that the RV adventure will be far better than sleeping on the same futon with Rodrick and smelling his undead feet all summer.

Visions of Camping-topia turn to the stuff of Camping-geddon, however, as one disaster after another confronts the fun-seeking family. (Did you know ticks and mosquitoes got that big? And let’s not even talk about the bears !) Eventually the Heffleys point their RV toward a place called Camper’s Eden. But when the rains start falling, the Bible story involving a guy named Noah might be more appropriate.

Can this summer be rescued? Or is their family already in too deep?

Christian Beliefs

As Greg scratches out his diary entries with handy little sketch drawings, he sometimes references Bible stories and compares them to his own family’s situation. Just think of all the real-world suffering you’d have to endure while stuck on a big ark full of critters, for example. He also thinks through the amazing defenses that God built into the members of the animal kingdom—shells and talons and claws, for instance. ( Too bad He left humans out in the cold with nothing but a big brain. Since all the good ideas were used up, Greg muses.)

Other Belief Systems

Authority roles.

Adults are sometimes used as comic foils. But it’s also clear that the Heffley family loves their kids and that their parents are concerned with providing a good education for them.

Profanity & Violence

No bad words in this mix. Though some of the Heffley disasters might have nudged a bad word from some families, the worst they say here is a hearty “GAAAH!”

The violent side of things is easy going, too. Greg and his whole family get thumped around in everything from being chased by a bear to being bombed by watermelon-slingshotting teens to being washed out in a mini flood, but it’s all played for cartoony fun.

Sexual Content

Discussion topics.

In light of the COVID-19 lockdowns, does your family situation sometimes feel like being locked down in Greg’s grandmother’s basement? What do you do to keep things fun? Have you ever been camping? What were your favorite outdoor activities?

God created the great outdoors, but does that mean it’s always going to be totally safe and fun out there? What would you do if you found yourself in some of Greg’s situation—such as accidentally getting lost in the woods?

Friendship is important. But would you have always made the same choices Greg did with his new buds at the RV park?

What did you think about this latest Wimpy Diary ? We’re there any good lessons that stuck with you?

Additional Comments

The only slight negatives here are a few bad actions—people stealing some quarters from arcade machines, playing a shampoo prank and tipping over a camper. (Though none of those actions are praised.) And there are small toilet-y giggles that show up in the form of RV toilet backwash, skunk spray, dizzy-barfing camp activities, a discussion of the use of wolf urine and kids coming up with an underwear-focused punishment. But all of those things, when sketched out in an over-the-top diary entry with near-stick-figure drawings, feel far lighter and goofier than they would if portrayed with real people.

In fact, even though The Deep End spools out a summer of little disasters for the Heffley family (along with numerous funny situations we can all identify with), it also focuses warmly on how a loving family can find fun and togetherness in the midst of the troubles of life. The tale also notes that even if you think your bad situation would take a miracle to save, sometimes little family miracles do indeed happen.

The Deep End also has some witty things to say about our silly desires to have “perfect” pictures for our “perfect” social media accounts. And there are one or two mentions of good parents finding ways to keep kids from being glued 24-7 to their screens—and why that’s a good thing.

Overall, there’s really good fun here. And it’s stuff that adults will enjoy, too.

Books, Grammar and Opinion

Book Review: Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Deep End

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Deep End is a genuinely funny and even insightful young adult book. As far as comic books or graphic novels go, it is second to none. It’s easy to see why Jeff Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid is such a wildly successful franchise. There are even movie versions of the books, to which I can only ask: Is it too much to ask that people read a book–even one with pictures?

The Characters

Greg’s mother is always smiling and enthusiastic, even when the rest of the family clearly isn’t. She is indefatigably cheerful and optimistic. The mother is responsible for dragging the family to events which will supposedly be fun. One suspects if the father and sons were left to their own devices, they would just stay in and play with their phones and video games. Anyway, it’s not uncommon for an adolescent boy to take a dim view of his mother. Yet there is a moment when Greg shows some empathy for his mom. After a pool party didn’t go as expected, Greg reflects:

Kinney represents the semi-permanent sulky state of teenagers. Rodrick has a typically malevolent look of a gawky teenager. He always looks angry. Regardless of the context, he is off to the side scowling at Greg. In other words, Rodrick is the archetypical older brother.

An adult would also enjoy Diary of a Wimpy Kid because of the clever humor and its nostalgic element.

3-year-old Manny is cheerful infant, a picture of childhood innocence. Manny, with the use of a flare gun, several times becomes the unexpected hero of Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Deep End . In almost every scene, Greg’s mother is showering attention on Manny, which implies that Greg feels a little jealous subconsciously. (SEE ALSO: Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Diper Overlode is a Raunchy Success)

Finally, the hapless protagonist, Greg Heffley, is a mix of Holden Caulfield and Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes. He’s a middle schooler who regards life with a mix of dread and anxiety. The idea of Greg as somewhat morose is part of the books appeal. Kinney explains:

Synopsis

Greg’s family, for a reason that is only vaguely alluded to, is living in “Gramma’s” basement. That they are in the Covid era is referenced only insofar as Greg’s father is frequently on zoom meetings and appears to be working remotely.

Naturally, Greg’s family feels cramped in the basement with no bathroom and gets on each other’s nerves. Greg’s grandma does not seem particularly hospitable either. They make some attempts to go on a trip to escape the pressure-cooker of Gramma’s basement, but they can hardly agree on a destination they all might enjoy. An opportunity presents itself when Greg’s uncle Gary’s RV becomes available for an extended road trip.

The RV adventure is a struggle: Greg’s mom nags Greg and Rodrick to get off their devices. The family also has trouble finding a nice piece of nature to enjoy without being swarmed with other families in their RVs. The idea, then, is to get away from the rest of humanity.

When they turn off the main road and find a pleasant lake to swim in, they are run off because it’s actually a fish hatchery. Greg reflects on how tamed the country is and how one cannot really “discover” any new place anymore. This is further demonstrated when the family parks the RV on what seems like a pleasant meadow–only to be run off again by the owner of what is actually his farm.

Then their camping experience is marred by a bear who is interested in their baked beans. As the family takes shelter in the camper, and the bear begins to rock the vehicle, Manny improbably shoots off a flare from the roof of the RV. A ranger rebukes them, explaining that shooting the flare was a fire hazard, and curtly asks them to leave.

The family’s next and final adventure begins when they arrive at Campers’ Eden, a resort for RV enthusiasts. Here the family at least has access to a laundromat, showers which run by quarters, and a lake to swim in. Greg falls in with a group of friends his age who are boisterous, but fun. The group’s leader is a short kid nicknamed Juicebox, then there’s Big Marcus, Regular Marcus, and Fivehead.

The antagonists at the RV camp are a group rebellious teenagers who camp at the top of a hill and launch watermelons from an improvised giant slingshot at people in the lake. Greg’s gang devises a clever ambush in which they attack the teenagers with water guns. But after the teenagers receive this much-needed comeuppance, Greg’s gang doesn’t have much of an escape plan to avoid the reprisal. A cat and mouse game ensues.

A Distaste for Other People

Kinney has something of a misanthropic perspective in his art. Many of the people Greg encounters are unnecessarily unpleasant in their interactions with him, including his own grandma and older brother. At the RV camp, no one will let him in their trailer during a thunderstorm. Then their next door neighbors spray them with a fire hydrant for sitting by a fire after “lights out” at 9pm. Those same neighbors aim hair dryers and leafblowers at them when they are sprayed by a skunk in an RV. It’s funny and I know it’s hyperbole, but it also is a commentary on the default hostility of Americans.

When the bridge leading into Campers’ Eden is damaged by a storm, things get desperate. With no way to get in or out, there is a run on food supplies and water. Dogs start to run together in packs.

The only time when the RV camp was enjoyable, according to our narrator Greg, is when circumstances cause the other campers to abscond:

Kinney works under the premise that hell is other people. It is both tragic and humorous that his assessment rings true.

Good Reading Practice for Kids and Fun for Adults

Kinney uses colloquialisms such as “wanna” etc., but at least the prose are grammatically correct insofar as it is written in complete sentences. It is conceivable, therefore, that a young reader or adolescent could increase their literacy through reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid . I should add that an adult would also enjoy Diary of a Wimpy Kid because of the clever humor and its nostalgic element.

The book is positively addictive. Kinney seems to be extraordinarily connected to the adolescent experience, such that he conjures its inner monologue through his characters. With no chapters or any other kind of logical break, one is left to his willpower to put the book DOWN. (I’m stealing Kinney’s all caps for emphasis trick). The cartoons contribute mightily to the humorous impact of the book. Also, Kinney’s a natural storyteller. You can see why he’s sold hundreds of millions of copies. It’s been a while since I’ve enjoyed a comic; Diary of a Wimpy Kid gives new life to the genre.

Greg talks about how his family is doing tough because of them all staying in one room. He explains they live in Gramma's basement because their house is destroyed, referencing the events of Wrecking Ball. They all sleep in one room, and Greg sleeps next to Rodrick. He wanted to stay in the guest room, but it was taken by Sweetie. Then Greg tells that when Gramma's friends visit her, the family must stay in the basement, but they can't go to the bathroom. They can't go to the kitchen either, so Rodrick just heated the pizza in the dryer once. There's no TV too, so they entertain themselves with a puppet show by Susan. Susan says they can just use their imagination, but Greg dreams about sending Rodrick to space every time. When Frank has a meeting, they must sit quietly, which is hard because of Manny. Greg can solve Gramma's puzzles, but Manny always wants to put the last piece. Sometimes they play a board game as a family, but they have to choose the easiest one because Manny can't handle complicated rules. They have to go to bed before it's even dark because they are on Manny's schedule. Manny's favorite picture book he reads when going to bed is about the Noah's Ark, where Noah saved all animals from a storm on his ship. The illustrations in Manny's book make it look like a big flood was a lot of fun. But Greg thought that if the drawings were more realistic, people wouldn't buy it. Greg says that if he was Noah, he would not save snakes and scorpions. He would use the extra space to save more cute animals. Luckily, Noah didn't find a place for fish, but they probably didn't know the flood was happening. But Greg doesn't understand why Noah let birds on the ark because they could've flown. Greg also wonders what awesome animals lived before the flood and didn't make it to the boat. Noah was stuck on the boat for 190 days with his wife and his three children, so every time Greg thinks about Noah, he's feeling better. Susan is happy because the time slowed down when they are together, but Greg didn't like it. Rowley was on another trip to Europe - Greg tried to give Rowley hints so he could go with Rowley, but the boy didn't understand. Susan said that they could travel using imaginations, but Greg didn't like the idea. When they all thought about the place they can go to in real life, Frank wanted to go to a bunch of Civil War battlefields. Manny wanted to go to the Animal Safari park. Susan wanted to visit places in their own country. And Greg and Rodrick wanted to go to the Thrills and Spills park. That's because they have a new Track Jumper coaster. Susan said these rides were not for Manny, but Greg didn't want to go to the Storybook Village Park, which is for kids. Greg suggested that every member will go on their holiday. But Susan wanted to spend time as a family.

Gammie asked Frank to get rid of Uncle Gary's camper van parked in her driveway for two years. That gave the family the idea to go camping to different places with the van, stopping for the night when they felt like it. Susan added that they will have different adventures. That made Greg even feel bad for Rowley because he will go to a boring museum and Greg will have wild adventures. Greg is worried that Susan will turn this trip into an educational one, though. But Greg doesn't want to learn anything on the journey.

The family came to the camping superstore to buy everything they needed Greg went to the part of the store with the high-end gear because he wanted to camp comfortably. But Frank said these things are for serious campers and made Greg put them back, then he picked some fishing rods. Rodrick and Manny started picking serious gear, like weapons, so Susan stopped them. Rodrick was disappointed, so Greg thinks he wanted to go trophy hunting on the trip and decorate the kitchen. The family was ready, but Susan asked a salesperson if they have the right kind of equipment. Then the salesperson started telling them about bears, and that they must tie up their trash and hang, so bears wouldn't reach them, and that they should buy wolf urine to scare the bears away. Greg decided to get better grades at school, so he wouldn't get a job as a wolf urine collector. The man also told them to take bug spray, and Greg was on board with that, because Albert Sandy once told him about a boy who was sucked dry with a mosquito. Then the man gave them a compass and a snakebite kit. If things really will go bad, to get a flare gun. Then the family went out of the shop but had to return because they left Rodrick sleeping in a hammock there.

When they came to the camper van, it was a total mess. The family cleaned everything up. But the van was comfortable: there was a stove, a bathroom with a shower, a refrigerator, a kitchen table, and some other stuff, so everyone was happy. But they kept finding Uncle Gary's dirty underwear there! Finally, the Heffleys hit the road. Susan said they must record their adventures and then become a popular family on the Internet. Greg was happy too, and it was good that he could use the toilet on the road. The only thing he didn't like was no safety seat belts. Susan let Manny go into the front seat so he could "drive", but he started laying into the horn and cursing, then Susan saw Greg and Rodrick using their phones. So she put the phones in a plastic box with a timer on top. Greg knew what it was because he saw Susan reading about it in parenting magazines. Greg and Rodrick tried to break that thing, but couldn't. Playing Animal Bingo was not interesting too, because they couldn't identify half the animals. When they wanted to stop for the night, Frank wanted to stop at a place called Culpepper's Ravine, but there were tons of other trailers. Greg then talks about how he wanted to be born a little earlier to discover something, because then they name it after you. But now only the lame stuff is left undiscovered. One time in the planetarium in Greg's town, you could pay ten bucks so they could name a planet after you. But Greg worries that since Susan didn't put his last name on the sheet, because some other Greg could say the planet is his.

The family found a lake with nobody near it and decided to stop there. The air-conditioning in the van was not working, so they relaxed in the river. Suddenly Greg saw a million little shining things under the water, thinking it was piranhas coming right to the family. Greg almost got out of the water, when he felt the fish nibbling him. He explained he was lucky he was in one piece, but he realized almost one piece. He had a scab before they got in the water, but it was gone. Suddenly a truck with two angry guys drove to them. The family suddenly found out the lake was a fish hatchery! So they quickly drove away from the guys on the trailer. Then they decided to spend the night at a field, but they were chased out again because it was somebody's farm. The family found a good field where they could stop, but Susan and Frank had to sleep on the table. Greg slept above the cabin with Rodrick. Manny slept in a cabinet in the kitchenette setup he made, and he was comfortable there. Then Greg found out he could hear everything when Susan goes to the bathroom, so he pretended he cannot hear anything, and woke Rodrick up.

The family then realizes that they slept in a public little league tee-ball park, and got out of there before a kid broke a taillight with a ball. Greg then suggested to go to the Family Adventure Center, however, most of the activities had an age and height requirement, so then they signed up for the Fun Float, in which Manny is only big enough for. During it, there was a shallow area in the water, causing the family to walk in the water. Greg then noticed that his tube got punctured, so then Manny used the cooler and Greg took Manny's tube. They then get stuck with a bunch of people, so Greg manages to squeeze through when the river got wider. However, he went to far and got tossed from his tube in the area in which the water was rough. Greg then calls for help, but the people didn't hear him, but his family is totally useless when it comes to emergencies. Greg then loses his bathing suit, so then he uses the cooler to block his privates. Then he finds the RV. After that, the family agrees that their trip was off to a terrible start. Greg tells Frank he should just admit this trip was a disaster and they should head back to Grammas. But Frank says they shouldn't turn around now because they didn't do any real camping.

Frank then said there was a national forest a few hours away from the van and they could stay there for the night. Greg wasn't too happy about the idea but at least it wasn't the basement. They spent the night at the car park and the next morning they headed for the forest.

The next night while camping in the forest, Rodrick and Greg's Dad prank the rest of the family by Greg's Dad tell them about a story where a ranger told Greg's Dad and HIS dad while camping. The ranger tells them that he used to have a dog named Matilda who got lost one night. Then he said when he gave up looking, he could hear the ghost of Matilda. When Greg's Dad is done telling the story, Greg hears howling from a nearby bush. At first he thinks it is the ghost of Matilda, but then he realizes that it was all a prank. But Greg's Dad got distracted while roasting marshmallows, and then burnt his knee. He planned on having baked beans later, but the fire burnt on his knee caused him to drop the can of baked beans, which explodes and makes a mess on the side of the RV. Everyone then goes inside, but then a bear comes along and licks the mess on the side of the RV. Manny then goes back outside and shoots a flare from the flare gun , then a ranger of the forest then goes to Greg's RV and tells them that shooting the flare gun was reckless, because it could cause a forest fire. Then she tells them that they'll have to leave first thing in the morning.

They then go to Campers' Eden, a luxury campsite with other people visiting, unlike the forest. They then were amused by the fact that the resort has a gaming room, a pool, a sandpit, and a lake with canoes and kayaks. There was also a bathhouse to take hot showers, in which got Susan excited the most about. There was a sewer hook-up in the campsites also. Susan asked for a campsite next to a lake, however the lot was full and the economy section was the only spots left. While Frank was flushing the sewage tank, Greg explored the resort. Unfortunately, the arcade in the gaming room had a few games in which Greg wasn't interested in playing. There was a pool table, but the kids used fruits instead of pool balls. The swimming pool wasn't that good either. The parents were not supervising their kids, and also, some kids got drifted out into the deep end, which was a problem since due to the people on the high dive. There was no lifeguard, meaning people can do whatever they wanted to do. Greg went to the hot tub next, but the hot tub was full of dogs and a cat. There was a laundry place, a snack shack, and a deluxe campsite. Luckily, the family was in spots away from the motorcycle gang and the pet-friendly row. Since the campsites had narrow spaces in between, the people decided to use the roofs of their campers. Susan tried to get to learn about the neighbors, however the people liked to keep to themselves. Then, a siren alarm from the main lodge made sounds, meaning there was a skunk on the campsites. The skunk then ate the Heffley's dinner. Greg talks about how when God created the animals, he gave them abilities to defend themselves, but when it was the time to create human beings, the good ideas were used up. Greg guesses that God made up for it by giving humans brains, but Greg would've gone with quills. Greg gets the idea to not take a shower until college so he can scare off people with smelling bad. The family then gets sprayed by people, ruining their hot dogs. It turns out that 9PM is the time in which people go to bed.

The next day, Greg gets woken up by a person who was doing wood carving on his campsite. Greg was about to scold him, but Greg decides to let him go after he used a chainsaw. Susan explained to Greg that the bathhouse needed coins to operate the showers, and move the family's clothes from the washer to the dryer. Greg didn't like the fact he had to be in a public building to shower, due to the fact that he needs privacy, and talks about his comfort in the bathroom. The bathhouse had men and women, in which Greg dislikes the fact. It turns out that the line was long is that there were only three shower stalls. Though Greg enjoyed the hot water, the people next to him was chatting with him. Before Greg rinsed the shampoo in his hair, the shower stopped. Greg tried to put the coins by himself, but a person took his stall, so then he left to rinse his hair in the sink, in which the water was free. Greg was surprised to find out that the chainsaw guy put the clothes in the floor, but let him go another time.

Later in the camper van, Susan tells Greg to find new friends in the site rather than using electronics. Greg is reluctant, but is forced to go with a random group when Susan is about to embarrass him. He follows them where they're going and they introduce themselves. The shortest member and leader of the pack is 'Juicebox' and the other members are 'DooDoo', 'Weevil', 'Fivehead', 'Cutter', 'Regular Marcus', and 'Big Marcus'. Greg presumes they're all just codenames so he introduces himself as 'Jimmy Dogfish'.

When they head down to the shallow spot in the stream, Greg finds out the reason the other guys went there was to talk. They started by talking about which superhero would win in a fight, which turned into which superpower was best. That turned into a debate over what animal you would fight if you were sentenced to death.

Then, the guys argued over whether it'd be better to fight a person with a head of a shark or a shark with the head of a person. This then led to a fistfight between everyone except Greg. Afterward, Greg states he's nervous about hanging with people who get physical to solve problems. Juicebox tells Greg that because he is the new guy, it's his job to show him the ropes.

The guys showed Greg around the camping lot. Greg figured that they had been coming here for years.

Then, they went to the bathhouse window and sprayed the wood carving guy. But when he heard Cutter laugh, it was game over. Luckily, the gang knew all the good hiding spots at the camp and hid in a bin near the snack shack.

They went down the hills and played some physical games. When everyone thought they had enough fun, some teenagers threw some watermelons to ambush them. Juicebox said that the teenagers were ready to strike back. The gang took their guns and then, Greg Heffley refused. The team told him that he was in his gang. Juicebox asked his team that one of them have to vote to be the decoy. Big Marcus's gun was now Greg's because he was the chosen decoy.

Big Marcus then paddled to the middle of the lake and the teenagers opened fire on him when they saw him, which allowed the rest of Juicebox's Gang to sneak up on the teenagers and shoot them. By the time their water guns were empty, the teenagers were soaked in water however the water only made them mad which lead them to chase the gang past the main lodge. During the chase, Big Marcus came out of nowhere and knocked them over which allowed the other part of the gang to have extra time.

They used this extra time to reload their water guns using soda machines at the snack shack, Cutter also grabbed a few bottles of ketchup and mustard. When the teenagers arrived, the gang sprayed them with their water guns again. A few seconds later, the snack shack got filled up with bees due to either the soda or ketchup.

Juicebox's Gang then ran to the hiding spot they hid in earlier to catch their breath. Everyone seemed to be in the mood to celebrate defeating the teenagers, however Juicebox was worried as the teenagers would be coming for them, and the camp director would be mad if they found out they messed up the snack shack. Cutter decided to make a pact that if one of them got caught, nobody would rat anybody else out. The penalty for breaking the pact was argued with the pool noodle gauntlet or having to wear underwear on your head, some kids said it had to be their dad's underwear and they had to walk past the pretty girl's campsites at lunchtime. The boys started arguing over whether the underwear should be clean or dirty, and that gave Greg a chance to get out of there.

The next day Susan didn't have any big plans much to Greg's relief, because he just wanted to lie low for the rest of the trip. Susan went to the camp store to get groceries, and came back with a flyer for a pool party. Nobody was excited, but Susan said it could turn their trip around. Greg though it would be nice to go, since it was really hot and sticky the last few days, so he could go and cool down.

Greg went to the camp store to get plastic utensils, but on his way back he ran into Regular Marcus hiding in a trash can. Regular Marcus told Greg that he found posters all over the campsite advertising a free ice cream sundae party at the lodge, which Marcus took from the laundromat and showed to Greg, who immediately realized was a TRICK, and it was really to find out who trashed the snack shack, using free ice cream as bait. Regular Marcus was going to go into the lodge earlier along with the rest of the boys, but he didn't have his water gun, so he had to go back and get it, and when he arrived, the door was locked and he peeked inside to find the camp director telling the boys they would have to scrub every inch of the snack shack with toothbrushes. Juicebox threw Greg under the bus by blaming the mess all on him, breaking the pact. The camp director asked Juicebox to help him find "Jimmy Dogfish".

Greg didn't want to be at his campsite when Juicebox and the camp director showed up, so he urged his family to eat quickly so he could get to the pool party. Greg figured that area would be safe, but he was wrong. the combination of nighttime and loud noise sparked chaos, even among the grown ups, the dads turned the shallow end of the pool into a whirlpool, and somebody had greased the slide. There was a movie at the other end, which Greg says should've been something more family friendly.

Susan wanted to do activities in the grassy area, and she wanted to do everything. They couldn't win the balloon popping contest, which involved sitting on a balloon to pop it, because Manny couldn't pop the first balloon, due to being too light. Frank entered the beer belly contest, but couldn't even make it past the first round. Manny entered the hot dog eating contest, and actually got first place, and Greg didn't even know Manny could pack away that much food. Greg and Rodrick entered a dizzy stick relay race, where you had to spin a baseball bat five times and then tag the next person, but they were playing against two guys who barfed from eating too many hot dogs. Susan wanted Greg to enter the mother-son dancing contest, but he refused to do it, so Susan got Manny instead. Greg entered the pie eating contest but his seat was too close to the pool, which was holding the belly flop contest, which too many people got on the diving board, causing it to bend over.

After the party, Susan got the family to go for a nice swim. While many of the inflatables were taken, the group found an inner tube so big, it looked like an airplane tire. They climbed on, but got flipped over by a group of kids. Once they got out of the pool, the incident scarred Susan physically and mentally so much that she was done with the pool party, and Greg felt bad, because he knew how much she wanted that night to be special. A few stragglers came to the pool, but they contained the teenagers, as well as Juicebox with the camp director, Greg dove underwater to stay hidden, but at that moment, a bright flash of light happened, like someone took a picture underwater. Greg surfaced to find that a thunderstorm was under-way, the teenagers, Juicebox, and the director were long gone, but Greg had to move it to get back to the camper to avoid being struck by lightning. Greg left the pool area, but was lost in the darkness combined with the rain. Lightning struck, and it sounded like it hit something, and the skunk siren went off, stressing Greg even more. Greg tried to go into the deluxe campers, but no-one would let him inside. Greg finally made it back to his camper, where his family was waiting, and Greg was relieved to find his family, and though that the storm came at the perfect time, only for the Heffleys to realize that a skunk got into the camper and sprayed everyone. The family tried to deal with the odor by wearing ketchup and Uncle Gary's cologne.

The next day they realized the camper stunk as well, and they had to throw away all of their food. Greg went down to the camp store to get the ingredients, only to find people hoarding everything they can. DooDoo (who didn't seem to mind Greg's odor, since he was smelly himself) told Greg that lightning struck the bridge the previous night, breaking it in the process, meaning that the supply truck couldn't get onto the property to supply the camp store, which caused Greg to panic since it meant that nobody could get off the property either. Greg went back to the camper, and Susan said that they shouldn't panic and should focus on getting rid of the odor. The Heffleys were able to use the hot tub since dogs don't like the smell of skunk spray either, and were scared off.

By the time the Heffleys were done however, things had gotten off of the rails. The camp store ran out of water bottles, and people went to the spigot to fill up their containers, but took more than they needed, and the well ran dry. People went to get water from the showers, but they ran out of coins, so quarters were like gold, and one woman sold her wedding ring for seventy five cents. Some people got frustrated and raided the arcade, as well as the laundromat, which was going to stink after everybody ran out of clean clothes. Eventually someone got the bright idea to take the big plastic tank off the top of the bathhouse, which rolled off of the roof spilling half of its contents before spilling the other half out at one of the horseshoe pits, turning it into quicksand. Some people tried to salvage what they could, but they ended up getting stuck and had to be rescued by a biker. Around dinnertime, people got hungry. While some people had food to last them for a few days, everybody else was depending on getting groceries from the camp store, so people went crazy. A bunch of people raided the snack shack, and one person stole a giant bag of food from the pet-friendly area. The animals, according to Greg, must've gotten the sense that things got out of control, so they banded together, and when one of the neighbors fired up their grill to make hamburgers, a pack of dogs made its move. A few people ate the leftover hot dogs from the pool party, and the teenagers salvaged some of their slingshot ammunition down at the field, and Greg was nervous that people would become cannibals and start to eat each other, so he took his shirt off to show he didn't have a whole lot of meat on him. Greg was worried about the weather, and a flash flood was coming that night, which was the last thing the camp needed. Susan said that they shouldn't panic and that by morning someone would repair the bridge and everything would go back to normal, but by nightfall things got a whole lot worse, and bikers started tipping over deluxe campers when they thought they were hoarding canned food. The Heffleys had to get out of there, and Greg remembered that the stream had a shallow spot, and expected his family to call his idea stupid, but the bikers tipped over another camper a few doors down, and they were ready to try just about anything. They moved their RV but forgot about the sewer hookup, and tore it up. The RV started to roll down hill, and they started the engine. They found the shallow spot and drove across it, but the RV got stuck, and the exhaust tore off, and the sewer hookup was underwater which caused the toilet to back up. The Heffleys escaped to the roof of the RV, and were floating downstream towards the bridge. The Heffleys used cushions to float away, but some how Manny jumped into the driver's and turned the RV (Recreational Vehicle) around seat and steered the Camper to the right, where it snapped into place on the bridge, fitting like a puzzle piece, and then He shot off the flare, alerting everyone, who then drove across the makeshift bridge, which took a full hour, and when the very last motorcycle crossed the bridge, all the family could hear was the rain.

The next morning, the campground had emptied out, and the Heffleys were the only ones left, and Camper's Eden actually lived up to its name. Two days later, the supply truck came back to resupply the camp store, and that night, they all ate like kings. They had the whole lake to themselves, and they actually had fun. Greg did make a few good memories during his trip, and he was right about how it took a miracle. Greg didn't want to go through all that drama again, and said that the next thing they could do was just do something boring like mini-golf. Greg was really looking forward to telling Rowley about his vacation, but he could leave out the not so great parts, and change a few details, because he couldn't let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Synopsis [ ]

But things take an unexpected turn, and they find themselves stranded at an RV park that’s not exactly a summertime paradise. When the skies open up, and the water starts to rise, the Heffleys wonder if they can save their vacation – or if they’re already in too deep.

The Heffley's living in Gramma's basement

Greg talks about how his family is doing tough because of them all staying in one room. He explains they live in Gramma's basement because their house is destroyed, referencing the events of Wrecking Ball . They all sleep in one room, and Greg sleeps next to Rodrick . He wanted to stay in the guest room, but it was taken by Sweetie . Then Greg tells that when Gramma's friends visit her, the family must stay in the basement, but they can't go to the bathroom. They can't go to the kitchen either, so Rodrick just heated the pizza in the dryer once. There's no TV too, so they entertain themselves with a puppet show by Susan . Susan says they can just use their imagination, but Greg dreams about sending Rodrick to space every time. When Frank has a meeting, they must sit quietly, which is hard because of Manny. Greg can solve Gramma's puzzles, but Manny always wants to put the last piece. Sometimes they play a board game as a family, but they have to choose the easiest one because Manny can't handle complicated rules. They have to go to bed before it's even dark because they are on Manny's schedule. Manny's favorite picture book he reads when going to bed is about the Noah's Ark , where Noah saved all animals from a storm on his ship. The illustrations in Manny's book make it look like a big flood was a lot of fun. But Greg thought that if the drawings were more realistic, people wouldn't buy it. Greg says that if he was Noah, he would not save snakes and scorpions. He would use the extra space to save more cute animals. Luckily, Noah didn't find a place for fish, but they probably didn't know the flood was happening. But Greg doesn't understand why Noah let birds on the ark because they could've flown. Greg also wonders what awesome animals lived before the flood and didn't make it to the boat. Noah was stuck on the boat for 190 days with his wife and his three children , so every time Greg thinks about Noah, he's feeling better. Susan is happy because the time slowed down when they are together, but Greg didn't like it. Rowley was on another trip to Europe - Greg tried to give Rowley hints so he could go with Rowley, but the boy didn't understand. Susan said that they could travel using imaginations, but Greg didn't like the idea. When they all thought about the place they can go to in real life, Frank wanted to go to a bunch of Civil War battlefields. Manny wanted to go to the Animal Safari park . Susan wanted to visit places in their own country. And Greg and Rodrick wanted to go to the Thrills and Spills park. That's because they have a new Track Jumper coaster. Susan said these rides were not for Manny, but Greg didn't want to go to the Storybook Village Park , which is for kids. Greg suggested that every member will go on their holiday. But Susan wanted to spend time as a family.

Gammie asked Frank to get rid of Uncle Gary 's camper van parked in her driveway for two years. That gave the family the idea to go camping to different places with the van, stopping for the night when they felt like it. Susan added that they will have different adventures. That made Greg even feel bad for Rowley because he will go to a boring museum and Greg will have wild adventures. Greg is worried that Susan will turn this trip into an educational one, though. But Greg doesn't want to learn anything on the journey.

When they came to the camper van, it was a total mess. The family cleaned everything up. But the van was comfortable: there was a stove, a bathroom with a shower, a refrigerator, a kitchen table, and some other stuff, so everyone was happy. But they kept finding Uncle Gary 's dirty underwear there! Finally, the Heffleys hit the road. Susan said they must record their adventures and then become a popular family on the Internet. Greg was happy too, and it was good that he could use the toilet on the road. The only thing he didn't like was no safety seat belts. Susan let Manny go into the front seat so he could "drive", but he started laying into the horn and cursing, then Susan saw Greg and Rodrick using their phones. So she put the phones in a plastic box with a timer on top. Greg knew what it was because he saw Susan reading about it in parenting magazines. Greg and Rodrick tried to break that thing, but couldn't. Playing Animal Bingo was not interesting too, because they couldn't identify half the animals. When they wanted to stop for the night, Frank wanted to stop at a place called Culpepper's Ravine, but there were tons of other trailers. Greg then talks about how he wanted to be born a little earlier to discover something, because then they name it after you. But now only the lame stuff is left undiscovered. One time in the planetarium in Greg's town , you could pay ten bucks so they could name a planet after you. But Greg worries that since Susan didn't put his last name on the sheet, because some other Greg could say the planet is his.

They then go to Campers' Eden , a luxury campsite with other people visiting, unlike the forest. They then were amused by the fact that the resort has a gaming room, a pool, a sandpit, and a lake with canoes and kayaks. There was also a bathhouse to take hot showers, in which got Susan excited the most about. There was a sewer hook-up in the campsites also. Susan asked for a campsite next to a lake, however the lot was full and the economy section was the only spots left. While Frank was flushing the sewage tank, Greg explored the resort. Unfortunately, the arcade in the gaming room had a few games in which Greg wasn't interested in playing. There was a pool table, but the kids used fruits instead of pool balls. The swimming pool wasn't that good either. The parents were not supervising their kids, and also, some kids got drifted out into the deep end, which was a problem since due to the people on the high dive. There was no lifeguard, meaning people can do whatever they wanted to do. Greg went to the hot tub next, but the hot tub was full of dogs and a cat. There was a laundry place, a snack shack, and a deluxe campsite. Luckily, the family was in spots away from the motorcycle gang and the pet-friendly row. Since the campsites had narrow spaces in between, the people decided to use the roofs of their campers. Susan tried to get to learn about the neighbors, however the people liked to keep to themselves. Then, a siren alarm from the main lodge made sounds, meaning there was a skunk on the campsites. The skunk then ate the Heffley's dinner. Greg talks about how when God created the animals, he gave them abilities to defend themselves, but when it was the time to create human beings, the good ideas were used up. Greg guesses that God made up for it by giving humans brains, but Greg would've gone with quills. Greg gets the idea to not take a shower until college so he can scare off people with smelling bad. The family then gets sprayed by people, ruining their hot dogs. It turns out that 9PM is the time in which people go to bed.

Later in the camper van, Susan tells Greg to find new friends in the site rather than using electronics. Greg is reluctant, but is forced to go with a random group when Susan is about to embarrass him. He follows them where they're going and they introduce themselves. The shortest member and leader of the pack is ' Juicebox ' and the other members are ' DooDoo ', ' Weevil ', ' Fivehead ', ' Cutter ', ' Regular Marcus ', and ' Big Marcus '. Greg presumes they're all just codenames so he introduces himself as 'Jimmy Dogfish'.

The guys showed Greg around the camping lot. Greg figured that they had been coming here for years.

It's plot is very similar to The Getaway .
This is the fourth time that Jeff Kinney 's name does not appear in the center of the cover picture.
It is also the second book to have his name stacked instead of flat, the first being Wrecking Ball .
This is the first time that the cover's text and the spine are distorted. This is due to the pool water effect.
This is the fourth book to not have the word "Diary" written in yellow after Dog Days, Hard Luck, and The Meltdown.
This is the first book to feature characters that are not part of the Heffley family on the cover picture.
This book cover is the one with the most characters featured in it.
However, these are not main characters as most/all of them are never seen in future books.
This is the second book with a different cover texture, the first being Wrecking Ball .
This is the third book in the series to take place during summer vacation, the first two being Dog Days and The Long Haul .
Like in The Long Haul and The Getaway, Rowley makes a cameo appearance--for this book, it's justified because, according to Greg, Rowley and his parents were vacationing in Europe for pretty much the entire summer.
This is the second book since Dog Days in which the months in the book have August.
This is the first book where the Heffley family as a whole has a happy ending, as they're ultimately able to enjoy their vacation despite all the misfortunes they suffered beforehand.
This is the fifth book to have to swear words as symbols.
401 words are written in all-capital letters in this book.
This is the first and only book that didn't have tape on the cover.
Whenever Greg does a jigsaw puzzle, Manny always insists on putting in the last piece. At the end of the book, Manny steers the Heffleys' RV into the broken bridge to fill the gap, which Greg describes as snapping in "like a puzzle piece".
Fregley appears as a character exclusively on the Target poster of this book, but does not appear in the actual book itself.
The Pig also makes a cameo appearance as one of the animals drowning in the water when Greg talks about Noah's Ark.
Ward also makes a cameo appearance, albeit only by name, on Rodrick’s phone when Greg and Rodrick’s phones are taken away, revealing that Rodrick was texting Ward when he had his phone. Ward hasn’t appeared ever since Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth .
This is the second time the family accidentally leaves Rodrick behind, the first being in The Getaway , when Rodrick is left in the water on the ocean tour.
Greg's console resembles a Nintendo Switch Lite, or at least, a Nintendo Switch.
Spider-Man is referenced when Greg confesses on one of his accidents in the bathroom.
In the Penguin UK and outside of United States versions of the book, the words for "The Deep End" are more inflated compared to the Amulet version.
The ending of the story is based on Noah’s Ark, which is mentioned in the book.
This is the second time Manny had swore.
This is the second time Manny drove the car. the first time was in The Long Haul .
This is one of three books in this series that take place in only one month. The other two are The Long Haul and The Getaway.
This is the sixth book to not be related to Greg's school life. The first being Rodrick Rules , the second being Dog Days , the third being The Long Haul , the fourth being The Getaway and fifth being Wrecking Ball .
This might be a reference to Hard Luck as this is the same thing that Greg sang in class to be a good student.
However, there is no mention of the pandemic, and there is no social distancing involved. But, some people still work from home after 2022.
However, it is predicted by the community the book takes place from 2006-2007.
This is the fourth book to have the color blue, the third being The Getaway , the second being Cabin Fever , and the first being Rodrick Rules
On Page 170, the movie that is playing could be Jaws because at the beginning of the movie someone is getting eaten by the shark.
This is the fourth book to have the illustration on the cover in a page of the book. The first being Diary of a Wimpy Kid, the second being The Last Straw, the third being The Getaway.
This is the first book released in the 2020s.

Goofs/Errors [ ]

However, It's possible that he got over his phobia or that someone else opened the box.
Although, this isn’t the first time this has happened. In The Ugly Truth , Greg says that sometime after he was eight or nine, Manny was born.
Greg and Rodrick are shown too tall on page 184 and 187.
On the top image of Page 122, Greg is shown in a shower with a shower head. However, in page 147, the chainsaw guy is in the exact same spot, yet no shower head is shown. The window is also moved to a lower spot, as in page 122, its significantly higher.
In page 124, when the chainsaw guy picks up his stuff another machine appears in the second illustration.
In page 39, the word "this" is too close together.
In page 149, Weevil has no leg on the second section of the illustration.
On the character page in the Swedish version, the word Dagbok is in a wrong font.
On page 39, there is a slit on the top of The Vault where you are supposed to put electronics, however on page 40, it shows no slit.
on page 182, on the first drawing, Greg looks bigger than the house.

Did you know that most of our dinosaur fossils were discovered because two grown men absolutely hated each other? It’s true! Rivals! Frenemies Who Changed the World is a riotous audio exclusive, like if Monty Python taught your history class. Each volume of four 30-minute histories will dig into the petty name-calling and grumbling grudges that led to many of the world’s greatest advancements, all delivered with a cheeky sense of humor. Choose sides: Cope or Marsh, the jerks who discovered so many dinosaurs; Hamilton or Burr, whose rivalry fueled American politics; and many more....
