Greg’s resolution is to stop other people from breaking their resolutions. He starts a "three strikes and you're out" system; if anyone breaks their resolution, they will get a strike, but before Greg can decide what "you're out" means, Rodrick, Greg’s older brother, gets all three strikes. Greg decides to bag his resolution too, as everyone is breaking their resolutions and it’s very hard to keep on correcting people. Life becomes more difficult for Greg and his best friend Rowley when their school bus route is "rezoned" to the Whirly Street neighborhood, meaning they have to walk to and from school.
