This was another story like the getaway where Heffley's head up for some "fun" family time which would turn out to be ironic. This time they gear up, take a camper van and head to many places for adventure. But eventually they would end up in some problem that would make them move to the next place. At last, they head to Campers' Eden a place for adventure. They have no fun for the first two days. And then Greg finds a group of people to play with and ends up in trouble. He tries to hide from the trouble and the a second trouble heads the Heffley's way - a thunderstorm. The thunderstorm breaks the bridge which brings goods to the place and people end up without food and water and many disasters started to happen. This is when the Heffley's have some REAL adventure! First they decide that they need to get out of this place as soon as possible, but the bridge is broken. So, Greg says that there was a shallow spot in the lake in Campers' Eden. He suggests that if they drove through the shallow spot in the lake MAYBE they can get out of this place. The family thinks that was a sensible idea and they head out to the lake all packed up. But again, unfortunately there was another storm and the lake started to flood. The first drawback was that the toilet started to flood into the camper van. So the family went up in the roof and the van started to float as no one was operating it! The second drawback was the bridge. They were floating towards the bridge and their heads could get chopped off! Greg noticed that a few seat cushions from the living room was floating in the water outside camper van. So, everyone jumped on it. Everyone except Manny. Manny was sitting in the DRIVER'S SEAT! And when he turned the steering wheel to a hard right, the camper van got stuck under the bridge. Guess what happened next! All camper vans copied Greg's idea and went past the bridge and escaped Campers' Eden until nobody was left except the Heffley's. The family decided to stay there. Soon enough the bridge was repaired and the goods started coming back again! The Heffley's ate like kings and left the place with an experience of awesome adventure!

Still one of the best middle-grade book series out there today! The newest adventure has vibes very similar to book #9, "The Long Haul", but has enough fresh twists and takes that makes it a great addition to the series. This one also has a "happier" family ending than "Long Haul" which is nice to see. Dang, I love the Heffley family. :,)

Ahh ich hatte einfach so so Lust darauf, wieder ein Stück Kindheit zu lesen und in Gregs lustigen Alltag abzutauchen. Diese Geschichte hat mir irgendwie besonders gut gefallen, weil es lustig war und man sogar ein wenig Spannung hatte und mitfiebern konnte! Bin froh, die neusten Bände jetzt endlich auch mal zur Hand genommen zu haben :)

This family is so funny, and all of their america are just on the believable side of ridiculous. I think both my kids have already read this book twice.
