Great for early readers.

The book is about a journey that a boy named greg went through. It was finally summer vacation. He planed it to be just a lazy, all day, playing video games, staying up late, vacation. His mom told him and his brothers " WE'RE GOING ON A ROAD TRIP!" And Gregs dad wasn't that excited, espeically he's got something busy in his job right now. Greg's dad was okay with it because he thought of going to the beach and he could bring his boat. They started to pack. The reason why greg thought his mom wanted to do this i because the magainze they get. Its called Family Frotic. Its basically a magainze guide to happy families. Manny, gregs little brother, lost his binkie. So gregs dad had to go to this store to by Manny a binkie, and it looked like something you would get from a gag giftshop. Manny slept through the whole ride which meant they couldnt stop for a while, which meant gregs mom couldn't stop to the places she wanted to go. One day gregs mom sent rodrick, gregs older brother, to pick up some food at the grocery store. They couldnt stop because that means manny would wake up. Rodrick ended up getting gum, cinnamon roolls, and frozen foods. Which they couldn't eat at all. The next day they went to a carnival. Manny and his mom went to play a winning-prize game. The game was you had to guess the pigs weighed and they ended up getting it right. the prize was a pig. That wasnt wonderful. Rodrick entered a contest to the worse shoe. He won because of the smell of his shoe. He asked for it back but the judges kept it for the nationals. Rodrick just lost a shoe so he could get a coupoun for a butter on a stick They had to take the pig with him. Manny was already attached to the pig. The next day they wanted to go to the beach but things got out of hand so they went a water park. They had put there things in a locker, which later the keys too the locker go missing. The whole tripped just turned horrible. Greg got bitten by the pig. His parents had to take him to a vet which was totally embarrassing for him. Gregs parents gave away the pig to a petting zoo, which got Manny really upset. Rodricks gum got stuck on the vans roof. Gregs dad buisness call failed. Gregs parents credit cards and keys were lost, which means no money for anything. There bags in the boat went flying out. They took 2 hours looking for there things. There were still some bags missing according to gregs mother but they had no choice but leave. There van got destroyed. These two mexican workers drove by too see what was going on. Everyone but Manny tried speaking in spanish, it turned horrible. Shocking, many spoke spanish. Everyone thought Manny told them what happened but he told the workers about the pig. The family eventually got home. Greg was unpacking and he found the keys to the locker at the water park. Greg now had no idea what to do. He had 3 choices, tell the truth, put it in rodricks laundry, or blame on the pick... what do you think he will choose?

I think this book is good. The original is always the best! ( )

The book was about everyone's favorite wimpy kid, Greg Heffley and this time his family and himself go on a road trip which was his mother's idea after reading it off a magazine. The family packed a lot and not everything fit in the small minivan alone. They ended up using his father's old boat. They hit a lot of rough obstacles during their trip and end up winning a pig which was some how donated. Yup, it was quite an adventure. ( )
