==Plot==
''In The Deep End, book 15 of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series from #1 international bestselling author Jeff Kinney, Greg Heffley and his family hit the road for a cross-country camping trip, ready for the adventure of a lifetime.''

''But things take an unexpected turn, and they find themselves stranded at an RV park that’s not exactly a summertime paradise. When the skies open up and the water starts to rise, the Heffleys wonder if they can save their vacation—or if they’re already in too deep.''<ref name="Amazon">[https://www.amazon.com/Diary-Wimpy-Kid-Book-15/dp/1419748688/ref=sr_1_2 Amazon]</ref>
