It’s the dreaded Family Beach Vacation for Greg Heffley!

In the 19th instalment of the hugely successful Diary of the Wimpy Kid series, titled Hot Mess, Greg’s Gramma wants the family to vacation at Ruttyneck Island in honour of her upcoming 75th birthday.

In attendance are, of course, Greg and his family � Mum, Dad, older brother Rodrick, and younger brother, Manny.

Greg’s aunts on his mother’s side � Aunt Gretchen and her two bratty twins Malcolm and Malvin, Aunt Cakey and her long-suffering boyfriend Vincent, and Aunt Veronica and her internet-famous dog Dazzle.

And gate-crasher Uncle Gary � Greg’s dad’s brother.

Prepare yourself for the hilarity and light-heartedness. These books are always chock full of fun, and entertaining twists and surprises. As always, Greg tries his best to stay out of trouble and fails spectacularly. It would be boring if he didn’t. I loved spending time with Greg, his family, and relatives. The perfect holiday read to put you in high spirits.
