Newmag and Yeraz Projects present “Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw” (trailer) in the Yeraz series

Greg Heffley returns with a new diary, new “goals,” and a fresh set of awkward and hilarious situations. At the start of the year, he decides to improve himself, but, as he confidently admits:

“The problem is that I have a hard time thinking of ways to improve myself, because I am one of the best people I know.”

While Greg is busy setting questionable self-improvement goals, his father has a completely different plan: to toughen him up and turn him into a “real man.” Faced with embarrassing challenges and “manly” tests, Greg does everything he can to avoid them, until he’s pushed to the edge. Military school, changing himself, or running away, what will he choose?

Packed with humor, absurd situations, and relatable school-life chaos, “The Last Straw” is the third installment in the internationally bestselling Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, aimed at readers aged 9-12.
