Publisher's summary

The third book in the #1 New York Times best-selling series from Jeff Kinney, The Last Straw is sure to please young readers. Greg Heffley makes a New Year's resolution to help others improve, but his brand of truthful advice doesn't go over well. Plus, Greg's dad thinks military school might be just the attitude adjustment Greg needs.

Reverting Story for pre teen bobys

What did you love best about The Diary of a Wimpy Kid?

I bought this for my son. He is ten and not the keenest reader, but he adores these books. He has actually read them all and now is loving having them to listen to before he goes to sleep. So what I love about this audio is that it is helping my son to develop a love of literature.

What did you like best about this story?

It makes him laugh and he likes to share anecdotes with me from the audio as well as having me listen to section with him. It also is entertaining and educational and means that he is doing something that is not a computer based activity.

What about Ramon de Ocampo’s performance did you like?

Realistic accent. Engages the reader, It is lively and humorous.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

My son listened to sections each night. It was difficult to get him to realise he had to turn it off and go to sleep.

Any additional comments?

I think the more children's/ young adult literature that is put on audio the better. We wish there were more Whimpy Kids written. I would thoroughly recommend these books to all parents, especially the parents of reluctant young male reader. I believe they will enjoy the audio so much that they will want to read the novels

My kid loved this book

Any additional comments?

I'm going to write the same review for every one of these books in this series:

I can deal with the book, at times I chuckle... but mostly I just roll my eyes. My kid loves it and that's why we listen to it.
