Diary of a Wimpy Kid Double Down-4+| Kids Spl.

What’s the story this time?
Greg Heffley is under pressure—his mom thinks too many video games are turning his brain to mush, so she’s pushing him to explore his creative side. Add Halloween’s spooky season to the mix, and Greg’s world becomes even more chaotic. A chance discovery—a bag of gummy worms—sparks an idea: if he can make a movie, maybe he can get his mom off his back, and maybe even become rich and famous. Or maybe doubling down on the plan will double his troubles?
