This is a book about a boy named Greg Heffley, in 7th grade. Greg has a best friend name Rowley and two brothers, Manny and Rodrick. Rodrick is a teenager and Manny is just a kid about 3 or 4 years old. Greg has a CRAZY life involving a pretty girl named Holly Hills that Greg is always trying to impress, a mean soccer coach, a dad that wants to send Greg to military school, and brothers that always want to get Greg in trouble. When Greg’s dad realizes that shipping a kid to military school really shapes a kid up, Greg starts to worry because Greg’s dad WANTS TO PUT GREG IN A MILITARY SCHOOL!! In order to not go to military school, Greg has to get in shape, but first he wants to impress Holly Hills, a pretty girl in Greg’s class. One day Greg gets invited to a sleepover with his friend Rowley at another kid’s house. Greg was excited but he gets more excited when he finds out that Holly lives on the same street with the kids that invited Rowley and Greg over. Greg was planning to spy on Holly and her friends at the sleepover, but the night that he goes into the house where he is going to sleepover, he finds out that there were a bunch of little kids there. HE GOT INVITED TO A KIDS SLEEPOVER!! Greg was not happy and then he finds out that he will be unable to go to spy on Holly and her friends. Anyway, Greg still has to get in shape in order to not attend military school. Oh yeah, did I mention that the military school takes place during SUMMER VACTION?!?!?! Greg’s dad decides to sign Greg up for soccer. Greg goes to soccer practice and gets put in with a REALLY mean coach. Greg’s team won the 1st game of the season and they went to go out to celebrate, but Greg’s dad couldn’t drive him home because he did not have the time so he asked the coach to drive him home. It ended up to be a total DISASTER! The coach had to stop at 5 stores, then he drove Greg home and Greg had to wait like an hour. During the 2nd game of the season he did not even get to play and it was FREEZING outside. He was wearing a t-shirt and shorts. Greg’s life is falling apart so he is probably is going to be sent to military school and he is not doing a good job of impressing Holly either. If you want to find out if Greg goes to military school or if he is ever going to make a good impression on Holly Hills, you have to read this book, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw by Jeff Kinney. I think this book is good for boys and girls and it is the best book I have ever read. I could not put the book down for a second. I finished this book in 1 day. I hope you read this book also.

Dude i really want to read this book………it sounds funny…….i read both of the other books!!!!!!
sounds like a funny book i want to read it. i have read the other two books!!
I thought this book was sooooo funny. I liked at the end how that new girl named Trista moved in and Greg already liked her! Also how when Greg’s family went to church, Manny was able to bring tons of toys to play with because he was bored! This was one of the best books i have read in a while!
I have read the entire Diary of a Wimpy Kid series and I enjoyed reading those books. I was pretty surprised that Holly Hills liked Greg back. I never thought that Gregs father would get the idea to send him to Spag Union because Greg doesn’t seem like a kind of person who would enjoy doing push ups and sit ups every day. I was really shocked when I read that Greg wore contacts, although he did look dorky wearing thick, round glasses. On a scale from one to ten with ten being the best, I would give this book a nine because it was a great book, but you could finish this book in a day. I still enjoyed reading this book.

I also read Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Last Straw. It was probably my favorite book in the whole series because it was longer than the other two, and it was much funnier.
My favorite part was when Gregg climbed up the tree to reach Mannie’s blanket, and Gregg’s pants fell down! That was hilarious! I didn’t really like that Gregg’s dad
made Gregg do soccer and boyscouts, just becuase he wanted to impress his boss.I gotta admit it, it was pretty funny
when Gregg was the goally in his soccer game and the other team got a goal and won just because Gregg was playing with dandelions on the field. I recommend this book to kids in third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grade. I love the Diary of a Wimpy kid series!

I really liked this book. My favorite part was when HollY Hills thought Greg was Fregly. I liked the way you put this summary in words. I read it to my little sister and she really enjoyed it. I hope they come out with another book. I really liked the summary. You did a very good job.
This book was pretty funny,and the first two were the best! I can’t Belive Greg is still crushing on Holly Hills! Like Ione says, Greg got taken as Fregly by Holly, but at the end, when Holly writes to”K.I.T(keep in touch),” Greg’s tabs flip and he loves her again. Thank goodness that Tricia came AND go-away-now-Tricia-you’re-prbally-going to-break-Greg’s-heart-like Holly did!
