Double Down is really special to me, because it reflects a renewed commitment to the series and a plan for the future.' Reception I wasn’t sure if I should continue writing Diary of a Wimpy Kid books or go down a different path. In an interview, Kinney stated, 'After the 10th book, I found myself at a crossroads in my career. Days later, while Greg is forced by Frank to sort and clean the cabinet that fell, Rowley gains fame from the local news after the movie-making incident, to Greg's annoyance and the rejection of any statements that he had made at the beginning of the book regarding fame. Rowley sprints out of the house and climbs up a tree, and Greg's dad arrives home. To scare them off, Greg and Rowley retrieve a Halloween wolf mask from the basement, but the duo accidentally set off a noisy plastic witch mentioned earlier in the book, and the cabinet falls on top of them after Rowley gets startled. Rowley notices a flock of geese in the yard. After Greg spreads gummy worms in the yard for a scene, he sees the pig eating the gummy worms in the house. Greg and Rowley write and film the opening of the movie. While going to get paper towels, he finds gummy worms and comes up with the idea to make a horror movie. He calls Rowley and asks him to bring over chocolate chips, but they melt and leave a mess. He is accidentally locked in the band room, and gets grounded as punishment (after Frank mistakenly thinks he wasted time by not playing in the concert).Īt home, Greg finds an off-limits bag of chocolate chips and realizes that he will get in trouble after eating them. After the party, Greg loses interest in playing the French horn, but is made to play in a school concert by his father Frank. Susan attends the party and sets up party games, which all the attendees enjoy. Greg goes with his friend Rowley, who plays the flute and is invited, as a two-headed monster. He settles for a French horn, but realizes that he will not be invited due to not playing a woodwind instrument. Greg joins the school band in order to get invited to a Halloween party. At school, Greg turns in his balloon and wins the candy corn, which is discovered and eaten by the family's pet pig. Maddox accuses Greg of having stolen one of his Legos (one of the tiny useless blocks, which stuck to Greg's arm without him noticing, which results in his mother frisking Greg), and Susan ends the playdate in disappointment. During a playdate at Maddox's house, Greg retrieves his balloon, and realizes that Maddox is not allowed to use electronics and spends his time playing with Legos. As Greg and his mother formulate a new reading list, his balloon is found by a boy named Maddox, whom Susan finds to be a good role model for him. Most of the balloons released crash into a brand new radio tower, but Greg's balloon rises slower due to his heavy letter and continues on. Wanting Halloween candy, Greg enters a contest at school in which students release balloons with letters attached, and the student whose balloon goes the farthest wins a jar of candy corn. He returns to the book fair to buy Spineticklers horror books, which reminds him of Halloween approaching.

Greg doubts this, recalling times he tried writing poems and failed an advanced placement test. Later, when his mother, Susan, gives him money for the school book fair, she is disappointed when he buys toys instead of books and believes that Greg can discover new creative talents.
