Dairy of a wimpy kid the last straw Personal Response

The book starts on January 1 with Greg talking about his family's New Years resolutions. Life becomes more difficult for Greg and Rowley when their school bus is "rezoned" and they have to walk to and from school. Greg tries to have his mom drive him to school, but that only ends up embarrassing him. He also talks about how his dad compares him unfavorably to his boss's sons, who are very athletic. They have conflicts over Greg wanting to stay inside and watch TV on Saturdays and his dad stealing his school snacks. Eventually his dad makes him sign up for rec league soccer. At first he rides the bench, but becomes the starting goalie when the other goalie is injured. He allows a goal to ruin his team's perfect season because he took a break to pick dandelions on the field.
