Cabin Fever (Diary of a Wimpy Kid #6) (Volume 6) Hardcover – Illustrated, November 15, 2011

Great for early teens

I think Greg is a little bit misbehaved and the way Greg acts is a bad thing to do, where other kids to be doing that thing that Greg did in the book that I read. In the beginning of the book, Greg's mom finds a Christmas doll in the garage,in a box and Greg's mom said "this doll would be watching you so that it can see that if you are doing good things and if you do you will get something for Christmas, but if you are doing bad things you won't get anything for Christmas" so he is getting a bit scared by the Christmas doll. And I think he is being a good boy before Christmas and I think he will be like this even before Christmas and on Christmas eve and Christmas day where he will be getting presents on those days. In the middle of the book Greg wrote a big story and Greg copied a book and Greg's mom said " why did you copy this book that you put on paper" but, when Greg was a little boy he wrote his own story and he shared his story and everyone loved it. After that Greg and Greg's friend named Rowley were putting up different signs on the school wall and it started to rain and it went on the signs and when Greg took the signs and it was not a good thing because when it rained and they took the signs down there was green, the boys had to scrub the green paint off the walls and some other guy came to the school and said "Hey! what're you kids doing?" and they ran to go back home. And they went to a pizza place and said " would you like to be on a newspaper and be a famous person where people will come to your pizza place." And the pizza man said " I'm glad to be on the newspaper and be famous." And the boys lift the pizza place so they can make a newspaper for the pizza man to become famous so people can come to the pizza place more often and the pizza man can get more money for his family and himself. I really like the way this book is called "Cabin Fever" because it has snow in the text.

Mt daughter loves the series and loves this book!Held her interest for weeks and she still goes back and rereads the series.Print is large, well bounded and lasts for years.

I had just about given up on this series. I loved books one and two. Book three was ok, but books four and five just didn't live up to the first two. It was almost as though Kinney was writing the books only so as not to disappoint his millions of young fans. I had also read somewhere that book five was to be the last in the series, so I was rather surprised when the announcement came about book six. Fortunately for me, I am a school librarian and my students love this series. Therefore I had to read Cabin Fever in order to stay current with my students. I'm glad I did, because this book reignited my love for the series.What I liked about the book: Greg is less whiny in this book. Oh, sure - he's still the King of Bad Choices, but he actually seems to grow a little, in spite of himself. That was my problem with books four and five - Greg seemed rather stagnant. I like that the book is a quick, easy and entertaining read. Kinney certainly knows his audience and does a great job of meeting their expectations.What I didn't like about the book: Can't think of anything I didn't like.As I mentioned my students (3rd - 5th grade) are crazy about this series. Our pre-winter break library lesson involved a book talk about Cabin Fever and then they had an indoor snowball fight. They each wrote an adjective about snow on three slips of paper, balled them up and spent 60 seconds having a snowball fight. At the end of the fight they took three "snowballs" that had landed near them and used the three words to write a poem about snow on their blog. They had a great time. I'm not sure which they enjoyed more - the excerpt I read from the book or the snowball fight.AR Reading level: 5.8Recommended for 3rd grade and up.Mrs. Archer's rating: 5 of 5!

Grandson loves this book and has read it front to back in 1day. It has a good storyline and holds his interest.

I bought these for my son (24 years old now) and I now by them for my step grandson. Great collection. I like the hardback.

my son loves reading these book series. they are good for his reading level

When my son started the 2nd grade he hated having to read and saw it as nothing more than a chore and it was a fight to get him to do it. When seeing the books they were reading, I could completely understand why. I made various attempts to show him reading was fun and still it was just a chore to him and he'd constantly act like he couldn't read as well as he could to get out of having to read... until I started buying him the Diary of a wimpy kid series. He now has a greater love for reading and understanding that it can be fun and enjoyable. He went from complaining every time he had to read for class to being happy to do so and reads proficiently above grade level. He also likes discussing the books with me and telling me about what is happening. He is always very eager to get the next book in the series (and I have found amazon to have great prices on them) and has a very great sense of accomplishment when he finishes each book. The fact that this series has given my son joy in reading has been invaluable.
