Title: Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever Author and Illustrator: Jeff Kinney
Age/Grade Level: Tweens and young teens, upper elementary and middle school
Length: 224 pages
Story: This is book 6, Jeff Kinney's sixth "novel in cartoons," about the very funny trials and tribulations in the life of middle school student Greg Heffley. On its website, Abrams reveals, "Greg Heffley is in big trouble. School property has been damaged, and Greg is the prime suspect. But the crazy thing is, he’s innocent. Or at least sort of."
"The authorities are closing in, but when a surprise blizzard hits, the Heffley family is trapped indoors. Greg knows that when the snow melts he’s going to have to face the music, but could any punishment be worse than being stuck inside with your family for the holidays?"
Further, in a 6/16/11 news release, the publisher said, "In Cabin Fever, the Heffley family is stuck indoors during a blizzard. But will they weather the storm?"
"'A very tough New England winter inspired me to snow the Heffley family in for the holidays,' said Jeff Kinney. ‘"Cabin fever" refers to the claustrophobia Greg feels, as well as the broader theme of the book. . . that you're trapped by the identity you create for yourself.'†(Source: June 16, 2011 Abrams media release)
