About this product

Product Information

The highly anticipated third book in the critically acclaimed and bestselling series takes the art of being wimpy to a whole new level. Let's face it: Greg Heffley will never change his wimpy ways. Somebody just needs to explain that to Greg's father. You see, Frank Heffley actually thinks he can get his son to toughen up, and he enlists Greg in organized sports and other "manly" endeavors. Of course, Greg is able to easily sidestep his father's efforts to change him. But when Greg's dad threatens to send him to military academy, Greg realizes he has to shape up . . . or get shipped out. Greg and his family and friends, who make the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books a must-read for middle school readers, are back and at their best in this hilarious new installment of the series, which is sure to please current fans while attracting new ones. Publishers Weekly -1/19/2009: The third book in this genre-busting series is certain to enlarge Kinney's presence on the bestseller lists, where the previous titles have taken up residence for the past two years. Kinney's spot-on humor and winning formula of deadpan text set against cartoons are back in full force. This time, Greg starts off on New Year's Day (he resolves to "help other people improve," telling his mother, "I think you should work on chewing your potato chips more quietly") and ends with summer vacation. As he fends off his father's attempts to make him more of a man (the threat of military school looms), Greg's hapless adventures include handing out anonymous valentines expressing his true feelings ("Dear James, You smell"), attempting to impress his classmate Holly and single-handedly wrecking his soccer team's perfect season. Kinney allows himself some insider humor as well, with Greg noting the "racket" children's book authors have going. "All you have to do is make up a character with a snappy name, and then make sure the character learns a lesson at the end of the book." Greg, self-centered as ever, may be the exception proving that rule. Ages 8-12. (Jan.) F&P level: T

Even Reluctant Middle-School Readers Love this Book!
Jeff Kinney's "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw" is the third in a series of books that are designed to look as if they were written and illustrated by Greg Heffley, "The Wimpy Kid," a wise-cracking, self-centered, middle-schooler whose life is filled with suburban misadventures. He has an over-sized head, a prominent nose and three strands of hair. If the other two installments are any indication, many non-reading children, especially boys, may finally be willing to pick up a book. "The Last Straw" opens with Greg's entry on resolutions to make himself a better person: "Well, the problem is, it's not easy for me to think of ways to improve myself, because I'm already pretty much one of the best people I know." His family consists of an older and younger brother who cause all the problems- as he sees it. He has an enthusiastic mom who easily embarrasses him and a dad who's frustrated that Greg isn't a better athlete. The over-riding joke throughout the book is that Greg is a deeply flawed protagonist. Some adults miss the joke and complain about Greg's shortcomings, but most kids understand that he isn't perfect and that is precisely why they like him. Perhaps "The Last Straw's" greatest appeal is that many "reluctant readers"- especially boys, who generally seek entertainment from the Internet, television, and video games- are excited about reading this series. Adults will also find humor in the book, if they approach it with an open mind. The thing to bear in mind is that kids may laugh at Bart Simpson, but they know it isn't appropriate to act like him.Read full review

Combine three things and WIN
If you combine three things- 1)a reluctant reader that is a boy between the ages 7-10, 2)a wimpy kid book of any title, and 3)that is written by the the author Jeff Kinney then what you get is = a parent that can thank their lucky stars! Wimpy kid books are about a kid that is just normal and living life as he travels through many situations that are funny, relatable, and sort of awful.Every kid has had one of these moments that is told in the various books and it gives power to being the uncertian in this big world. Buy the set and don't look back.

Diary of a wimpy kid
These books are excellent for kids ages 8 to 11 they encourage the kids to read with the funny little stick people and short stories and sayings. The Diary of a wimpy kid Do it yourself book is a cute little diary that gives kids a chance to share their own thoughts and idea on what they think. The back of the book has a diary for them to keep of their daily events. The rest of the book ask questions the kids can answer in their own words it has a place on the front for them to put their own picture. They get to draw in this hard back book which to kids is something you never get to do is right in your books. This book encourages the kids to do so to open up and tell little things about themselves and their families as well as share activities at school with friends and teacher. It is an excellent series and if you buy one you will buy all four. They are clean and a fun way for your child to relax. It is a fun book that I enjoy because my daughter giggles at the silly stories and silly questions. So if you are considering purchasing this series or one of these books go ahead and get them.Read full review

great book, funny, hilarious
My daughter hated the fact that she lost sleep because of the book, she simply could not put it down. In-fact she read the first two books in one school week!! She also liked that it related to real-life issues. I loved the fact that the book encouraged to read more. Even though she loves to read anyway. I also like the fact that my two younger boys will most likely enjoy this series when they are older and it will encourage them to become more interested in reading. I just hope that Jeff Kinney continues to come up with many more brilliant stories.
