Driving cross-country to a family event turns into a catalogue of breakdowns, bad motels and decisions nobody will admit to making.
Jeff Kinney sends the Heffleys out on the road, and Greg records the journey in his usual journal form, assigning blame generously and taking little of it himself. A runaway pig, difficult drivers and a string of roadside disasters keep the chapters moving, with cartoon panels doing much of the comic work. The short entries make it easy to read in bursts, which suits a car journey of its own.
Inside this volume:
• A road-trip instalment of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series
• Motel stops, vehicle trouble and a runaway pig along the route
• Illustrated diary format with brief, self-contained entries
