Overview
Bring home six laugh-out-loud installments of Greg Heffley's world with this Diary of a Wimpy Kid paperback set, covering Books 12 through 17. Jeff Kinney's diary-style storytelling and doodle-packed pages follow Greg through a tropical family trip, a snowbound school shutdown, a chaotic home renovation, a summer at the pool, an unexpected turn as town hero, and a wild tour with his brother's band. Perfect for middle-grade and reluctant readers alike, this collection delivers the same relatable humor and heart that made the series a modern classic, ideal for gifting or a home library.

About the Books
This six-book set continues the wildly popular Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, narrated in Greg Heffley's distinctive first-person diary voice and illustrated with Jeff Kinney's simple, expressive cartoon art. In The Getaway, the Heffleys trade a stressful holiday season for a tropical resort, only to discover paradise comes with its own problems. The Meltdown buries Greg's town in snow, sparking a neighborhood turf war fought with snowballs and bragging rights. Wrecking Ball turns the Heffley house into a construction zone when a home renovation spirals out of control. The Deep End sends the family on a budget road trip and a summer at the community pool, testing everyone's patience. Big Shot follows Greg's reluctant attempt to get in shape for a school sports team, with predictably comic results. Diper Överlöde puts Greg on the road with his older brother Rodrick's band, Löded Diper, as roadie duties collide with sibling rivalry. Across all six stories, Kinney balances slapstick humor with genuine, relatable moments about family, friendship, and growing up. Short chapters and frequent illustrations make the books approachable for independent readers while still entertaining older kids and adults who grew up with the series, making this collection a satisfying way to catch up on the series or fill gaps in a home or classroom library.
