9. A family road trip is supposed to be a lot of
fun… unless, of course, you’re the Heffleys. The
journey starts of a full of promise, then quickly
takes several wrong turns. Petrol-station
bathrooms, crazed seagulls, a fender bender
and a runway pig-not exactly Greg Heffley’s
idea of a good time. But even the worst road
trip can turn into an adventure- and this is one
the Heffleys won’t soon forget. (written from
the book summary)
Also in the book you will read it and understand
that it’s punctuations are the same in every
book. Like when they use big letters to highlight
the feeling and thoughts. Also they use dates
and names of the days and the months.

brain to mush, so she wants her song to put

As if that’s not scary enough, Halloween is just
around the corner and the frights are coming at
Greg from every angle
When he discovers a bag of gummy worms it
sparks and idea. Can Greg get his mom off his

rich and famous in the process? Or will
doubling down on this plan just double Greg’s
troubles? (Written from the book summary)
Also the punctuations are the same but this
time it’s more interesting. Every book that Jeff
