It’s summer vacation, the weather’s great, and all the kids are having fun outside. So where’s Greg Heffley? Inside his house, playing video games with the shades drawn. Greg, a self-confessed “indoor person,” is living out his ultimate summer fantasy: no responsibilities and no rules. But Greg’s mom has a different vision for an ideal summer . . . one packed with outdoor activities and “family togetherness.” Whose vision will win out? Or will a new addition to the Heffley family change everything?
Remember how to make a spool tank? How to whip apples? Whatto do with a discarded umbrella? Whether "pennies" comes before orafter "spank the baby" in mumbly-peg? And your kid never knew anyof these things in the first place, to forget in the second place?Robert Paul Smith remembers, and he has set it down for all to see— these things and many others, like rubber-band guns, and slings,and clamshell bracelets, and the collection, care, and use ofhorse-chestnuts. This book frees children from video games for afew hours, a handbook on the avoidance of boredom, a primer onsolitude — a child’s declaration of independence. It reveals "howto do nothing with nobody all alone by yourself" — real things,fascinating things, the things that we and our parents did as kids.It’s a book for kids, but parents are not prohibited from readingit.
