Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw Book 3

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw is the third book in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney. It continues the humorous, diary-style narrative of Greg Heffley, a middle schooler who is navigating the challenges of adolescence.

In this installment, Greg's father, Frank, is frustrated with Greg's lack of interest in traditional masculine activities like sports and outdoor adventures. In an attempt to "toughen him up," Frank enforces a series of harsh rules, including pushing Greg to join the school's wrestling team. Meanwhile, Greg is also dealing with his complicated relationships with family and friends, including his brother Rodrick, who continues to torment him, and his best friend, Rowley, who becomes more popular, complicating their friendship.

Greg's journey is full of comical misadventures, as he struggles to meet his father's expectations while staying true to his own personality and preferences. The book deals with themes of family dynamics, personal identity, and the awkwardness of growing up, all presented with Kinney's signature blend of wit, humor, and illustrations.

The book is filled with Greg's relatable and hilarious take on family life, middle school, and his attempts to avoid responsibility while trying to navigate the messiness of growing up.
