Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul Introduction general : This novel is considered one of the best novels for the reader, and he will enjoy it and dive into the depths of its interesting events Introduction : The Long Haul is the ninth book in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series and provides us with another peek into Greg Heffley’s hilarious personal diary, complete with its illustrative cartoons. Greg’s summer holidays have arrived and long days of doing exactly what he wants stretch out invitingly before him. However, Mom has very different ideas and Greg is forced to join his family on a summer road trip, which Mom thinks will help promote family ‘bonding’. Unsurprisingly, the Heffley family road trip is doomed to end in disaster . . . Like all families, fitting the luggage in the car is the first big problem, which Dad solves by using his boat as a trailer, having to empty out the junk first. Once underway, it becomes clear that Mom wants to turn the car journey into an educational experience, much to Greg’s disgust, even putting maths cards in his lunch bag.
