Greg Heffley dreams of a carefree summer indoors, gaming away with no rules. But his mom envisions a season filled with outdoor adventures and family bonding. As their conflicting plans collide, a surprise addition to the Heffley family might just turn everything upside down. Will Greg's ultimate summer fantasy survive, or will his mom's vision prevail? Dive into this humorous battle of wills and discover how one summer can change everything.

From the publisher

It’s summer vacation, the weather’s great, and all the kids are having fun outside. So where’s Greg Heffley? Inside his house, playing video games with the shades drawn.

Greg, a self-confessed “indoor person,” is living out his ultimate summer fantasy: no responsibilities and no rules. But Greg’s mom has a different vision for an ideal summer . . . one packed with outdoor activities and “family togetherness.”

Whose vision will win out? Or will a new addition to the Heffley family change everything?
