Kinney, J. (2007). Diary of a wimpy kid: Cabin Fever. NY: Amulet Books.
Gregg Heffley is a busy kid! Christmas is right around the corner and he is very concerned about behaving so Santa's Scout will not tattle on him. He ends up getting into some mischief at school and is paranoid that the police are coming after him. As a snowstorm comes to town, Gregg and his family are trapped inside their house, attempting to find something to do. The basement ends up flooding because of all the snow and their belongings get ruined. The storm also causes some troubles for Santa and his delivery. In the end, they find plenty to do while being stuck inside, Santa is able to bring presents and Gregg is commended for doing a good deed. Kids of all ages can relate to Diary of a Wimpy Kid Cabin Fever. It may not be snow that kept them inside, but every kid has been stuck inside for one reason or another. This realistic fiction/graphic novel also uses humor to capture the readers attention. The characters use language that children understand and can relate too. The plot continues to build as the story grows and then settles into a happy ending for everyone. The illustrations are hand drawn using mostly straight lines and not much dimension.
