Author: Jeff Kinney
Year: 2011
Official Synopsis: Greg Heffley is in big trouble. School property has been damaged, and Greg is the prime suspect. But the crazy thing is, he’s innocent. Or at least sort of.
The authorities are closing in, but when a surprise blizzard hits, the Heffley family is trapped indoors. Greg knows that when the snow melts he’s going to have to face the music, but could any punishment be worse than being stuck inside with your family for the holidays?

Review:
In this book, Jeff Kinney is back to his original writing style: Greg talks about many random things, then, halfway through the book, the actual story starts to develop. I don't like to read a book's synopsis and then, read a completely different story when reading the actual book. It just doesn't make sense; I was constantly expecting Greg to do something bad at school, only to read about the school yard or bullies.
On the other hand, those random anecdotes were really silly and funny. Greg's coming-of-age story is left forgotten and he is back to his wimpy ways. Kinney made some fun allusions to his own stories. And, he also made a Harry Potter allusion that was a pleasant surprise. It was completely unexpected, but fitting.
