DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: THE LONG HAUL Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Book 9

Narrator Ramon de Ocampo is delightfully spot-on as the voice of 11-year-old Greg Heffley. De Ocampo's wavering high tones and quick pacing capture the young teen's satirical observations on a family road trip--including his mortification at his mother's continued attempts at family bonding activities and his fondness for his little brother. De Ocampo also provides an entertaining medley of character voices. In spite of editing that interrupts the flow of the narration with some unusually long pauses between sentences, de Ocampo's performance makes for an engaging listening experience.
