Description
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.
The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series of books, by best-selling author Jeff Kinney, charts the highs and lows of our middle school hero, Greg, as he stumbles and fumbles from childhood to teenhood via school-hood. Sometimes helped by his friends and family, often not helped by himself! Readers love the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.
The USA Today, Publishers Weekly, Wall Street Journal, and #1 New York Times bestsellers: "In the publishing world, Kinney is a rock star." - NPR's Backseat Book Club
Diary of a Wimpy Kid is bent on world domination." - Time magazine
"One of the most successful children's series ever published." - Washington Post
"A big hit with reluctant readers and anyone looking for a funny book." - School Library Journal
