Double Down

The Wimpy Kid books are so funny but also surprisingly heartfelt at times. I wonder how he decides when to lean into comedy versus more serious themes.

His attempts to navigate school and family chaos seem to hit closer to home for me than some previous books. Is this a new direction for the series?

The series often draws from relatable middle school experiences, but I’d love to know what sparked the ideas for the main plot in 'Double Down'.
