A good humorous book. The best character is Greg Heffley.

13 Sep 2025

This book is again about a boy called Greg having a snow storm in his neighbourhood. After it stops on one Sunday, Greg and the kids on the street have a wintry battle.

I would recommend it to people who like stories with a big battle at the end

I loved the massive snowball fight and battle for the hill Greg lives on.

03 Sep 2025

The meltdown was good.

02 Sep 2025

I absolutely love this book because the main character Greg has a crazy life.
Boys and girls from lower Surrey Street and the top of Surrey Street were having a snowball fight. People from Top Surrey Street had an idea to build a giant snow building to defend their territory. Who was the winner?
I would like to recommend this book to my friends.

Greg had survived the cold harsh winter.

Greg and his whole neighbourhood had a snowball fight. The upper street, where Grey lives was fighting with the lower street. Upper street, lower street and Wirly Street kids fought some hooligans named the Mingo Kids and they won.

Snow has shut down Greg Heffley's middle school!

But now his neighborhood is a wintry battle field!And Greg and his best friend Rowley are caught in the crosshairs of territory battles, epic snowball fight and massive snow forts.

Can Greg and Rowley navigate the art of war when their street goes into meltdown?Or will they even survive another day?

I like Greg Heffley the best because he is always chill and funny, I also like him having an older brother, Rodrick and a little brother, Manny which makes him a middle child! He is always curious.

11 Aug 2025

Greg Heffley was my favourite character in this particular book. I would recommend it to someone else because it is a great book.

It was funny when mom made Greg and his friend Rowley get out in the snow and play instead of inside playing video games.

The Meltdown is another epic adventure in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, and it did not disappoint! Greg Heffley is back with all of his hilarious awkwardness, and this time, it’s winter, which means the kids in his neighborhood are at war! It’s basically snowball fights, chaos, and drama all packed into one book.

27 Jul 2025
