Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Double Down by Jeff Kinney is the 11th book in the DOAWK series. The series has been hugely popular, with tens of millions of copies sold all around the world.
In Double Down, young Greg Heffley is given orders by his mum to explore his more 'creative side', so when he discovers a bag of gummy worms, Greg gets an idea (to coincide with upcoming Halloween) to make his own horror movie.
This involves a lot of humour and is typical of Greg's usual antics and wrong decisions that we have come to know and love through the other Wimpy Kid books.
