¶       The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series is a really good series. My favorite one is the Diary of a Wimpy kid The Long Haul. It is about this middle school kid named Greg. Him and his family go on a road trip. He has and older brother named Rodrick and a younger brother named Manny  and a mom and dad.It’s the first week of summer vacation and they are going on a road trip,but they don’t have enough room for their stuff so they use Greg’s dad’s boat for the rest of their stuff. When they start driving Greg gets hungry and he asked if they can stop for lunch at a fast food place,but she says “no.”  Then they eat a packed lunch. Then Greg gets out a game and they start playing. Then Rodrick and the dad are tied at 9 and the next one to score a point wins. Then the mom pulls out the card and reads it: I must Confess I’ve toilet papered someone’s house. She started to reach for the next one ,but Rodrick starts screaming that he wins and since he toilet papered someone’s house the mom made him call and apologize and then it was quiet in the car for a while. Then Manny fell asleep. Then it started to become nighttime so the found a hotel. When they went into their room it had wet towls on the floor,it reeked of smoke,and there were cigarette burns in the bed. Manny was still sleeping. So they turned out the light s let Manny sleep. So Greg and Rodrick went down to the pool ,but there was no water in it. So the went over to the hot tub and there was a family in it so they waited and waited and waited and they did not get out. Then they just went to their room and went to sleep,but Greg had trouble falling asleep because it stunk. Then he haerd something outside the room. He looked out the peephole and saw the kids from the hottub ramming a cleaning cart into the wall. So Greg yelled at them and the youngest kid starting crying went into his room and his DAD came out so Greg ran into his room and tried to fall asleep. He woke up the next morning listening to his brother Manny taking to the TV. Then they got back on the road and started driving,and Manny fell asleep. Then they went to the fair. The Dad Rodrick and Greg went in while the Mom stayed in the car with Manny while he was sleeping. They ate some food then Dad went back to the car. Then Rodrick enters his shoe in a stinky shoe contest and he wins and he gets a coupon for fried butter on a stick. Then Greg couldn’t find Rodrick and then he saw the same family from the hot tub. They were still angry at him for yelling at the little kid. Then Greg went into this tent and a giant cheer went up. He pushed to the front of the croud and saw Manny holding up this sign. Mom told him that Manny guessed the right answer for how much a pig weighed. Then the prize was a real live baby pig. Mom said they didn’t want it,but that made the croud angry so they took it and when they got beck to the car Rodrick and Dad were sitting in the car. When Dad saw the pig Dad and Mom argued if the should keep in or not. Then Mom said they are keeping the pig and that was final.  Then they went to a restaurant and they said they  couldn’t eat there because Rodrick was missing his shoe and you need shoes to eat there and he didn’t have his shoe because the people from the fair said they were sending it to the national competition. Then Dad said Greg and Rodrick had to share one of Greg’s shoes. So when they were done eating the got onto the highway and drove to a hotel and they rented 2 rooms. Then they went to sleep.  In the morning Greg saw that the pig ate all the stuff in the minibar. Then Greg went over to Mom and Dad’s room. The pig ate everything in Mom and Dad’s minibar too. Then dad went down to the front office and told the guy they shouldn’t be charged for the stuff in the minibar because our pet ate it,but the guy said they needed to pay and there was a 50 dollar penalty for not obeying the hotel’s not pet rule. Then they got back on the road and They went to a few more places  like a water park,but at the water park their stuff was stolen. So now they had to find their stuff,but the car broke down. Now here is the question. Will they make it home? Yes or no?  Read the book to find out. I do recommend this book because it is funny and it is interesting. I recommend it to people who like funny long books. Please read it and I hope you like it.
