📖 Summary at a Glance

• The Electronics Ban: Greg's mum successfully petitions the town to voluntarily ban all screens, phones, and electricity for an entire weekend, turning Greg's life into a tech-free nightmare.
• Family Chaos: At the exact same time, Greg's grandfather moves out of his retirement home and into the Heffley house, taking over Greg's bedroom and forcing him to share a room with his toddler brother, Manny.
• The Wild Escape: Desperate to escape the claustrophobic house and avoid his dad's wrath after accidentally damaging the family car, Greg signs up for a week-long school trip to Hardscrabble Farms.
• Camp Hardships: The camp is completely primitive—no hot water, horrible food, and grueling outdoor chores. To make matters worse, the campers are terrified of a mythical, crazed hermit named Silas Scratch rumored to live in the woods.
• The Big Twist: While hunting for firewood, Greg discovers a hidden, luxury cabin with running water and a TV, only to find out it belongs to his dad, Frank. Frank invented the scary Silas Scratch myth just to keep kids away from his private tech sanctuary.
