The Last Straw (Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Book 3)<\/a><\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The highly anticipated third book in the critically acclaimed and bestselling series takes the art of being wimpy to a whole new level. <\/I><\/P>\u00a0<\/P>Let\u2019s face it: Greg Heffley will never change his wimpy ways. Somebody just needs to explain that to Greg\u2019s father. You see, Frank Heffley actually thinks he can get his son to toughen up, and he enlists Greg in organized sports and other \u201cmanly\u2020? endeavors. Of course, Greg is able to easily sidestep his father\u2019s efforts to change him. But when Greg\u2019s dad threatens to send him to military academy, Greg realizes he has to shape up . . . or get shipped out.<\/P>\u00a0<\/P>Greg and his family and friends, who make the Diary of a Wimpy Kid <\/I>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.<\/P>\u00a0<\/P>Publishers Weekly<\/I>-1\/19\/2009:<\/P>
The third book in this genre-busting series is certain to enlarge Kinney\u2019s presence on the bestseller lists, where the previous titles have taken up residence for the past two years. Kinney\u2019s 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\u2019s Day (he resolves to \u201chelp other<\/I> people improve,\u2020? telling his mother, \u201cI think you should work on chewing your potato chips more quietly\u2020?) and ends with summer vacation. As he fends off his father\u2019s attempts to make him more of a man (the threat of military school looms), Greg\u2019s hapless adventures include handing out anonymous valentines expressing his true feelings (\u201cDear James, You smell\u2020?), attempting to impress his classmate Holly and single-handedly wrecking his soccer team\u2019s perfect season. Kinney allows himself some insider humor as well, with Greg noting the \u201cracket\u2020? children\u2019s book authors have going. \u201cAll 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.\u2020? Greg, self-centered as ever, may be the exception proving that rule. Ages 8\u2020\u201c12. (Jan.)<\/I><\/DIV>
