Bookroo's summary

Greg Heffley faces mounting pressure as his mom demands he ditch video games for creativity. With Halloween looming, Greg hatches a plan involving gummy worms and filmmaking. Can this scheme win his mom over and bring fame, or will it backfire spectacularly? As frights close in, Greg must navigate his wild idea, risking more than just his mom's approval. Will his creative gamble pay off, or will it lead to double the trouble?

From the publisher

The pressure’s really piling up on Greg Heffley. His mom thinks video games are turning his brain to mush, so she wants her son to put down the controller and explore his “creative side.”

As if that’s not scary enough, Halloween’s just around the corner and the frights are coming at Greg from every angle.

When Greg discovers a bag of gummy worms, it sparks an idea. Can he get his mom off his back by making a movie . . . and will he become rich and famous in the process? Or will doubling down on this plan just double Greg’s troubles?
