The Long Haul

In "The Long Haul," the ninth installment of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, Greg Heffley's family embarks on what's supposed to be a fun road trip. True to Heffley form, it quickly goes awry, featuring everything from fender benders to a runaway pig. This graphic novel is perfect for middle-grade readers aged 8-12, offering relatable humor about family dynamics, travel mishaps, and the often-exasperating experience of being a kid. It's a quick, engaging read that will have children laughing out loud and perhaps even reflecting on their own family adventures.

A family road trip is supposed to be a lot of fun . . . unless, of course, you're the Heffleys. The journey starts off full of promise, then quickly takes several wrong turns. Gas station bathrooms, crazed seagulls, a fender bender, and a runaway pig--not exactly Greg Heffley's idea of a good time. But even the worst road trip can turn into an adventure--and this is one the Heffleys won't soon forget.
