"Mom said the whole point of being on a family holiday is to do things TOGETHER. She says that one day us kids are gonna go our separate ways, and time's running out to make happy memories as a FAMILY."

The Deep End, the brand new Wimpy Kid book from bestselling author Jeff Kinney, is out now. To celebrate, we’d love to know what your favourite family memory is. It could be a cross-country camping trip – like Greg’s family adventure in The Deep End – or even something you’ve done with your family over lockdown.

Just simply fill in the form below to enter. The prize winner will receive a copy of The Deep End and a signed print from Jeff Kinney.
