Who is The Deep End for?

Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Greg Heffley's family holiday goes from bad to soggy.

Reading guide

The Deep End can be read on its own, though readers who already know the Heffleys will get the most out of the family's familiar habits and squabbles.

The Heffleys set off on a cross-country camping trip, but plans go awry and they end up stranded at a campsite that is nobody's idea of a summer paradise. Then the rain comes, the water begins to rise, and the family must decide whether their holiday can be saved.

Description

Greg Heffley and his family set off on a cross-country camping trip expecting the adventure of a lifetime. Plans soon go awry, and they find themselves stranded at a campsite that is far from a summertime paradise. When the rain arrives and the water starts to rise, the question is whether the holiday can be saved at all.

The Deep End is the fifteenth Diary of a Wimpy Kid book, and it keeps what has made the series a favourite on children's bookshelves: Greg's put-upon, self-serving diary voice and Jeff Kinney's deadpan cartoons on nearly every page. It is a cheerful pick for young readers who have grown up with Greg, and for anyone who has ever endured a rained-off family holiday.
