Cabin Fever (Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Book 6) by Jeff Kinney

My daughter & I laugh when we reminisce about the book in how it so accurately reflects my daughter's real life playground situation at her school: the vice principal is not allowing the kids to play on some of the playground equipment; they cannot play tag anymore near the equipment; recess is boring now because of all the added rules of "don't do this/that!" Jeff Kinney is really plugged into the world the kids live in today.
