With the cold weather setting in and the stress of the Christmas holiday approaching, the Heffleys decide to escape to a tropical island resort for some much-needed rest and relaxation. A few days in paradise should do wonders for Greg and his frazzled family.
But the Heffleys soon discover that paradise isn’t everything it’s cracked up to be. Sun-poisoning, stomach troubles and venomous creatures all threaten to ruin the family’s vacation.
Can their trip be saved, or will this island getaway end in disaster?

I liked it..it was just anytime it showed Rodrick with that sunburn thing it made me feel quite queasy but the seahorse picture was really funny. Do seahorses even say neigh? And the box jellyfish is a powerful creature like Damn well I mean you learn something new everyday

Amazing book
In my opinion, this was an extraordinary book, and I would rate it over five out of five. I would recommend this story to anyone who is interested in comedy, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and/or stories about holidays.
Greg and his family are going to a tropical island but what is supposed to be a relaxing holiday ended up as chaos!
The holiday was so funny. My friends would like this.
I liked the person who came up to the family's room because Greg saw a spider and the man came up but he was also scared of the spider!
Great adventure
Really funny
I think it was adventurous, but I would have preferred some more emotions.
I like that it featured famous movies, iguanas, getaway island, great book!

This is another great book. My best part was when mannys teddy got stuck in the escalator.
Very good but could be a bit better with comedy
I liked this book because they went on a plane and I've flown on a plane and know what that feels like.
