Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw is a novel written by American author and cartoonist Jeff Kinney, the third book in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. The book acts as a journal and follows the adventures of Greg Heffley, the narrator of the book, who is in the second half of his seventh grade year.[1] The title comes from the threat of military school to toughen Greg up. This book was released on January 13, 2009 in the USA.
[edit] PlotAs a continuation of the second book, this novel rounds out the second semester of Greg's seventh grade school year.
The book starts with New Year's Day. The follow-up is Greg's Christmas, which is similar to Christmas in the first book. Greg gets nothing he likes from anyone. Uncle Charlie gives Greg a "laundry hoop" and Greg's mother, inspired, starts making Greg do his own laundry. Due to Greg's laziness, he does not do his laundry and does not plan to.
In the later parts of the book, Greg's dad tries unsuccessfully to get Greg to toughen up. His attempts culminate with a threat to put Greg in a military academy, but he changes his mind in the end.
