Diary of a Wimpy Kid fans, you are in for a treat! Here Jeff Kinney shares the first of five teaser trailers which reveal what might happen in his ninth book – The Long Haul – and you won’t find this trailer anywhere else until Wednesday! Ready? Here goes:

Hope you enjoyed that. There are four more trailers to come – one will be released every week on www.youtube.com/WimpyKid until Wednesday 5 November when Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul (book 9) is finally out in the UK!

In The Long Haul, Greg Heffley and his family set out on an epic road trip. Now a family road trip is supposed to be a lot of fun… unless, of course, you’re the Heffleys. The journey starts off full of promise, then quickly takes several wrong turns. Gas station bathrooms, crazed seagulls, a fender bender, and a runaway pig — not exactly Greg’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.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul is available at the Guardian bookshop. Find out more at www.wimpykidclub.co.uk.
