Greg Heffley is suspected of damaging school property just as a blizzard traps him indoors with his family for the holidays
Snowed in with the Heffleys
Greg Heffley is in trouble. Someone has damaged school property, and Greg is the main suspect. The crazy thing, as he insists in his diary, is that he is innocent, or at least mostly innocent. As the authorities close in and Greg waits nervously for a knock on the door, a huge snowstorm hits town, and the Heffley family is trapped inside together right in the middle of the holiday season.

More about this book
A great choice for a reluctant reader on a cold evening, this sixth diary combines two of the series' best ingredients: Greg's talent for digging himself deeper into trouble, and his family at close quarters. Before the storm, there is a nervous build-up as Greg imagines the police coming for him, worries about whether a toy elf is reporting his behaviour, and tries to keep his virtual pet alive in an online game.
Then the snow arrives, the power goes out and the house shrinks. Greg's older brother Rodrick, little brother Manny and their parents are all stuck together, food runs low and everyone's patience wears thin. Kinney's cartoons and deadpan jokes keep the laughs coming, and the book has a little more plot than some others in the series. Greg remains selfish and scheming, but his schemes rarely work, which is exactly what makes him funny.
Easy to read in an afternoon, it suits readers who already know the characters, though new readers can follow it too. It is followed by The Third Wheel. About 224 pages in the Amulet hardcover.
