Diary of a Wimpy Kid 12 : The Getaway - 217 hlm. ilus. 21 cm

Wimpy Kid Greg is on a family trip. This time the Heffleys head to a tropical resort. Greg, a first-time flyer, has many travel fears. These fears lead to pictures of people getting sucked out of an airplane, experiencing a water landing, being surrounded by sharks after a water landing, and drowning in a shipwreck. Plus Greg fears he's swallowed a sea horse and imagines it coming out of his chest. Often in this series, it's Greg's antics and some potty humor that drive the story. There's some of that, with the usual pictures of people on toilets and standing at urinals. But this story focuses more on Greg's fears about travel and doing new things. Dad tries to impart a lesson: Don't lose your temper and do something stupid. Greg gets another lesson from the experience: When his family gets in trouble, his family runs for it. There's some adult drinking shown at restaurants and the resort, some teen and adult smooches, and a nude beach with nothing shown, plus a coughing Greg gets stuck standing with a group of smokers outside the airport
