About this book
Jeff Kinney has brought Greg Heffley back for the ninth instalment of his bestselling Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.
This time, the Heffleys are off on a road trip! The chances of survival are... quite small to be honest.
If I had to guess, I'd say 90% of everything we do as a family comes from ideas Mom gets from that magazine. And when I saw the latest issue I knew it was gonna get Mom's wheels turning.
When Greg's mom decides the family are going to have an 'authentic experience' this summer on a family road trip, Greg is less than excited.
All the Heffley's trapped in a minivan for miles and miles... it spells disaster.
And when Greg has to battle petrol-station bathrooms, crazed seagulls, a fender bender and a runaway pig, it seems he was right to be worried.
This is one adventure the Heffleys won't forget!
Reluctant and avid readers of 7+ can't get enough of Greg and the disasters that follow him around!
