Plot
editGreg Heffley's family is in for a chaotic adventure. It all starts with a seemingly innocent birthday wish: all Greg's Gramma wants this year is a photo of her five daughters and their families on Ruttyneck Island, the place they vacationed every summer when the kids were little. But there’s a twist—Gramma insists she doesn’t want to come along. That’s right. She wants them to go there without her. Everyone wonders why, but hey, they figure it’ll be a fun, nostalgic trip.
So, the Heffleys and their extended family—13 people total—cram into a tiny vacation house with exactly one bathroom and a kitchen so small, you can't even open the fridge and the oven at the same time. Greg’s mom assures everyone that it’ll be “good bonding time,” but Greg has his doubts from the start. Still, they make the best of it, spending days at the beach, cooking endless pots of spaghetti for dinner, playing board games that almost always end in arguments, and visiting the island’s historic lighthouse.
It sounds like the perfect family vacation, right? But remember, this is Greg's family. What starts with “seagulls stole my sandwich” quickly escalates to bigger mishaps. Rowley accidentally befriends a group of raccoons that refuse to leave the porch, Greg’s dad keeps getting lost on the way back to the house (even though the island is tiny), and Uncle Gary’s “famous beach barbeque” turns out to be a disaster when he sets off the smoke alarms in three neighbouring cabins.
And just when Greg thinks things can't get worse, they find themselves having to "talk about this down at the police station" after a mix-up at the island’s souvenir shop. Let’s just say that by the time they snap that family photo for Gramma, everyone’s a little frazzled—and covered in seagull feathers.
