The Long Haul (Diary of a Wimpy Kid, #9)

The Heffleys are heading on a family trip! Greg's mother came up with the brilliant idea to go on a vacation together, but everything that can go wrong will. First, the family struggles with limiting their luggage, and Greg soon finds himself stuck in the rear seat with all of the luggage. Greg's dad had bought a boat once that never worked, so he uses the boat and its trailer to haul more luggage. 

In the van Greg's mother attempts to lighten the atmosphere by playing games, but only Manny is interested. At a county fair, Manny wins a pig, and the farmer is insistent they take it, so the family now has a pet aboard the van. Traveling with a pig is no easy feat, however, and things like gas station bathrooms soon become an ordeal. With a nemesis family traveling on the same circuit, what could possibly go wrong?

Enjoy a family trip like no other as the Heffleys travel across the country, looking for things to do in a trip that will be as bad as it will be memorable!
