Wimpy Kid – Double Down & Halloween Activity

27 October 2016 by Eileen

The long waiting and anticipated book by Mr Jeff Kinney’s Wimpy Kid – Double Down will be out in bookstores all around the world on 1st November 2016! And if you just can’t wait you can already reserve a copy on Amazon.

Mr K is super excited and can’t wait to get the book.  Just to tease him, I managed to get him to read the first extract!

The pressure’s really piling up on Greg Heffley. His mom thinks video games are turning his brain to mush, so she wants her son to put down the controller and explore his ‘creative side’.

As if that’s not scary enough, Halloween’s just around the corner and the frights are coming at Greg from every angle.

When Greg discovers a bag of gummy worms, it sparks an idea. Can he get his mom off his back by making a movie . . . and will he become rich and famous in the process? Or will doubling down on this plan just double Greg’s troubles?

To celebrate the book release, we are doing some Halloween activities over the half term.  You can download them too! Click the link to download the mask of Rowley Jefferson and Grey Heffley!

We have also been busy colouring and decorating the haunted house!

Mr K is thrilled that the new book is coming out soon as he has almost read all the ten books.  He has asked for Wimpy Kid – Do it Yourself book and the movie for his birthday next month!  Do look out for the new Double Down book from 1st November!

Disclosure: I will received the new book from the publisher for free. However, they have not paid me for this blog, and they do not exercise any editorial control over anything else on this site.

Hello!

Welcome to ET Speaks From Home!

Hi, I’m Eileen — a mum of two teenagers, aged 18 and 17, and a passionate lifestyle blogger sharing snippets of family life, creativity, and culture since May 2012. My daughter lives with visual impairment, and our journey together has shaped much of the heart behind this blog.

What started as a small space to document family memories has grown into a vibrant corner of the internet where I share my love for cooking, crafting, DIY projects, Chinese culture, parenting, and honest product and YouTube reviews. Whether I’m creating festive crafts, exploring Chinese traditions, or trying out new recipes, I hope to inspire others through everyday moments from home.
