GENRE: It is humor because there are jokes all around the book that are funny, then it's realistic fiction because it's about a kid in middle school like us. A joke it states is "We are only watching turtles hatch because they're Cute but if they were snakes it would be different." It also states " My first winter break of a 7th grader I wanted it to be at home." That's why its humor and Realistic Fiction.

Greg the main character of the book was mad that they were leaving for Christmas to a warm place and Greg was not happy. The airplane ride was hell for him he sat next to a husban and wife with a baby so he was mad. To begin with he does not like planes so this is really bad for him.
