Our view
“Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul” is a quick, good-humoured ninth volume of diary and cartoons, with the family at the centre. Some readers find it less inventive than the earlier books and a little predictable, and see it as the point where the series begins to slip. It speaks mainly to children who already know Jeff Kinney’s hero and want more of him.
