About this book

Greg's idea of a perfect summer holiday is to sit indoors with the curtains closed and play computer games but for some reason his Mum thinks sunshine, fresh air and 'family togetherness' are a much better plan.

As he stumbles from one catastrophic incident to another, always wondering at the stupidity of the rest of the human population, Greg generously shares his observations and philosophies on life with his readers.

Hilarious doesn't even come close to describing this account of Greg's summer break which is written as a diary and wittily illustrated in comic strip style.
