Jeff Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw follows Greg Heffley as he struggles with new challenges at school and at home—especially with his dad, who is determined to toughen him up. From forcing Greg to take up a sport to threatening military school, his dad’s attempts at making him more responsible only lead to more chaos and classic Heffley mishaps. This book perfectly captures the awkwardness of growing up, the pressure to meet expectations and the constant battle between kids and parents. Greg’s sarcastic and often self-centered perspective makes for a hilarious and relatable read, enhanced by Kinney’s signature doodle-style illustrations. While aimed at younger readers, The Last Straw is packed with humor and family dynamics that make it enjoyable for all ages. Kinney’s ability to turn everyday situations into laugh-out-loud moments keeps this series engaging. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, lighthearted read.
