The Last Straw (Diary of a Wimpy Kid #3) by Jeff Kinney

Product Details

About the Book

Let's face it: Greg Heffley will never change his wimpy ways. Somebody just needs to explain that to Greg's father. Frank Heffley actually thinks he can get his son to toughen up, enlisting Greg in organized sports and other "manly" endeavors — but Greg is easily able to sidestep his father's efforts to change him. Of course, when Greg's dad threatens to send him to military academy, Greg realizes he has to shape up . . . or get shipped out, so he plots and schemes in hilarious ways to avoid being sent away to a place he knows he'll never survive.

Spanning New Year's Day (where Greg resolves to "help other people improve," advising his mother to chew her potato chips more quietly) through the end of summer vacation, the book follows Greg's hapless adventures — from handing out brutally honest anonymous valentines to trying to impress his classmate Holly and single-handedly wrecking his soccer team's perfect season. Along the way, Greg and his father slowly begin forming an unexpected bond, hinting that Greg may grow up to be more like his dad than either of them realizes — and the story ends on an unusually happy note as Greg is befriended by Trista, the gorgeous new girl in the neighborhood.

Critical and Reader Reception

Publishers Weekly praised The Last Straw as certain to enlarge Kinney's presence on the bestseller lists, calling his spot-on humor and winning formula of deadpan text set against cartoons back in full force. Readers have described it as just as humorous and warm as the first two books, highlighting the touching, slow-building bond between Greg and his father as a standout element, with the series having gone on to sell more than 250 million copies worldwide.
