Our Review

When Greg Heffley's entire town decides to unplug from modern life and go electronics-free, the self-proclaimed indoor enthusiast is thrust into a world he's completely unprepared for. This tenth installment in the wildly popular series explores what happens when video games, smartphones, and streaming services suddenly vanish, forcing Greg to confront a reality where entertainment requires actual effort and imagination. The familiar blend of handwritten-style journal entries and simple cartoons perfectly captures Greg's escalating panic as he navigates this technological apocalypse, proving that sometimes the greatest adventures happen when the power goes out.

Kinney masterfully taps into the universal anxiety of disconnection while delivering the signature humor that has made this series a global phenomenon. The "old school" experiment creates the perfect storm of family tension, social awkwardness, and hilarious misadventures that longtime fans have come to expect, while new readers will instantly connect with Greg's struggle between the comforts of modern convenience and the unexpected joys of analog living. Greg's journey through this forced digital detox ultimately reveals that survival—and maybe even fun—might be possible without a power cord, making this one of the most relatable and timely entries in the entire series.
