There are two main problems in this book. The first is that Greg has been punished for damaging school property and the police are looking for him.
The other problem in this book is that Greg's family is stuck in their house because of a blizzard. Greg's dad did not even make it home because of the blizzard. He is staying at a hotel. During the blizzard a lot of bad things happen, such as their basement floods and they lose power.
The worst part is that all this is happening around Christmas time when Greg is trying to stay on the nice list.

The solution of the problem is that they have to wait until the storm passes and the snowplow comes. Greg's dad then returns home with food and the power comes back on.
After the blizzard, Greg begins shoveling snow to see if he received his Giving Tree present. Even though he finds nothing somehow Greg's picture appears in the newspaper as the do-gooder who shoveled snow so the homeless people could get food from the shelter. Greg went from being in trouble to a hero.

R, R and O
I would recommend this book to people who like an easy read and like to laugh. The book keeps the reader guessing and entertained throughout. While it is helpful if you have read the other books in the series it is not required.
I also like how the book had lessons in it. For example, being grateful for the things you have and owning up to your mistakes. Something everyone can relate to.
