Diary of a Wimpy Kid 6 - Cabin Fever Jeff Kinney Amulet Books November 15, 2011 978-1-4197-0296-9 English Comedy |
The book starts with Greg's concerns regarding the arrival of Christmas and the concept of Santa Claus's surveillance of good or bad children and pondering as to how this could be. His mother stumbles upon a doll known as "Santa's Scout" (a parody of the Elf on the shelf) and uses it as a tool to prompt her children into good behavior; however, Greg's paranoia regarding the subject of the doll is taken advantage of by Rodrick, who uses it to prank his brother.
Meanwhile, Greg is also preoccupied with a gaming website known as "net kritterz" and tending to the needs of his virtual pet and the website's required paid features, so he and Rowley devise various moneymaking ideas, which all backfire or fail. They soon decide to publish their own tabloid newspaper, but find difficulties in selling and advertising it, and Greg fears that Rowley's additions to the newspaper will only damage their chances of selling copies even further.
Temporarily, they abandon their project to start their own holiday baazar after Greg buys Drummies at his local supermarket, and decide to hang up posters advertising the baazar on the walls of the school on a rainy day. However, the colored ink on the posters melts through into the brick walls, and the boys' antics are witnessed and published in the community newspaper, as their attempts at advertisement have inadvertently vandalized the school. Fears of being discovered fill Greg with paranoia, worrying that he will be arrested, and dreads the day where his identity will be unveiled.
Eventually Rowley snaps and informs the school via an anonymous tip they were the ones who accidentally vandalized the school, but he doesn't say it was him it says, "Me and Greg Heffley." Greg confesses to his responsibility with the accidental vandalism without mentioning Rowley's involvement out of guilt, leaving himself to solely suffer through the consequences, albeit he still lives in fear of the police. A sudden blizzard isolates the Heffleys within their home, resulting in a power outage that spoils their food and a basement flood. Frank, Greg's father, in the meantime, is stranded within his own workplace, and the family lives in hunger and boredom for the following few days until Rowley reveals to Greg that electricity has since been restored all throughout the town with the exception of apparently Greg's own household. A quizzical Greg checks the family's electricity box, only to find that the power has been in all rooms of the house excluding Manny's bedroom, and soon discovers that Manny has been living luxuriously in his bedroom surrounded by food, warmth, and toys without notifying his family because nobody taught him how to tie his shoes. The electricity is returned to the house, and Frank returns with food for his family.
The following day is Christmas and Greg discovers himself on the cover of the newspaper for anonymously shoveling the walk-way leading up to the Church (however, only to recover a tag he'd hung upon the giving tree requesting money) that allows a soup kitchen to be opened, and he chooses to exploit himself on the front cover of his own tabloid newspaper in order to receive the gifts.
