When snow shuts down Greg Heffley’s middle school, his neighborhood transforms into a wintry battlefield. Rival groups fight over territory, build massive snow forts, and stage epic snowball fights. In the crosshairs are Greg and his trusty best friend, Rowley Jefferson. It’s a fight for survival as Greg and Rowley navigate alliances, betrayals, and warring gangs in a neighborhood meltdown.

When the snow clears, will Greg and Rowley emerge as heroes? Or will they even survive to see another day?

A Big Disappointment This Time

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2018

My kids were looking forward to this book. I always read these books first, though. Though the content of the Wimpy books walks the line of kids' behavior and innocent silliness sometimes, we talk about it together. My kids are upper elementary, so Third Wheel didn't make the cut either. But this particular story troubled me more, so it won't be in the hands of my kids this round either. Captions that say, "In your butt"; peeing or pooping in public with other kids watching; getting into a grandparent's house without permission while she's away for winter to eat her snacks, turn on a furnace, and watch her TV (who pays the bill?); to throw a snowball inside a school bus toward the driver; to be bullied and terrorized; to set up turf wars, not just for snowball fun but with real fear of others in other parts of a neighborhood (or socio level); mom having a private talk with him about boys' normal fantasies when she catches them jumping around together in their underwear; packing yellow snow or dog feces to throw on kids for fun; stereotypes of boys being horrible and utterly stupid in school while girls are perfect... all of it bugged me this time. 98% just not funny. The only thing I found truly sweet was when he forgot to dress in a cultural costume for a social studies country report, and chose to raid the lost and found closet to create something to pass, only to have people from the actual country present for the presentation. Sweet and innocent hilarity and embarrassment there. Oh, loved the girls' driveway clearing business too. Come on, Jeff. Kids, teachers, and parents need you more. Do better.

Funny - but for parents/teachers, concern about who we make fun of

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2018

First the good. This book lets kids see that it’s okay to complain about some of the things they might be experiencing (although Greg has way more complaints than most). Greg gets himself into trouble a lot. It will make readers laugh – how could you not? And, it’s a good transition book for reluctant readers since there are lots of pictures and the author capitalizes words regularly to show where the emphasis should be placed. For parents, there’s a nice vocabulary range (a few borderline words, too.)

The negative. A caution for the author and the reason I rated this a 1: Where Greg’s complaining about people at his school, including the guy whose sweater has the same stains every day, and the girl who has lice and spreads it? I think that no youngster wants to go to school every day with the same stains on their sweater, and no child willingly or knowingly spreads lice. Not every house or apartment has a washing machine and many schools have homeless kids. Also, some parents work two and three jobs and are too tired to see to all of their kids’ needs. Sad, but it’s the reality and we need to be sensitive to this. So criticizing these kids, making fun of them; not good. Also, I think I would have liked the book better if maybe, just once or twice, Gregory did something nice for others. He thinks about his needs first, as many in his age group do…but there are also many kids whose parents have taught them to do the occasional good deed. I’ve seen many mischievous kids do nice things. As a writer with the huge audience author Kinney has, he has a chance to set an example and show readers that even misfits can do good things. And, wonder of wonders, they may even (begrudgingly) feel good about themselves. We can still laugh at the many scrapes Gregory gets into, but please, let’s see the good side of his humanity, too.

Less Fun than Mean-Spirited

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2018

Sadly, this series is on a downward trend. It has gone from being funny and lighthearted to what I can only describe as mean-spirited. Part of the problem is that Greg's self-centeredness was amusing in the beginning, but now his utter disregard of everyone around him has become a bit wearing. But that is small potatoes compared to, as another reviewer pointed out, fun and games that has deteriorated into serious no-holds-barred warfare amongst kids. A good chunk of the book involves Greg explaining why he can't stand ANY of the other kids in his neighborhood - and why the kids of the various streets seem to be involved in non-stop open warfare. This is not "fun" in my book. There are no likeable characters, and the "humor" revolves simply around children being mean to other children. This series used to be delightful, light-hearted and a romp that I'd look forward to book after book. I think I have learned my lesson (the last two books were disappointing as well) and will save my money for more worthwhile reading.

It’s really a shame when writers take advantage of their popularity among kids to inflict leftist propaganda on their young readers.

My son read this all the way through as soon as we got it in the mail. And has even read it a second time since. He laughs out loud the whole time he’s reading. Another hit from Jeff Kinney.

All kids love it

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2018

All kids love these books. How do I know? Every new book that comes out my kids have to almost strap to themselves with lock and chain. If they take their eyes off of it for a second, it gets stolen (only the DOAWK books). Even if their names are in them. And yet, they can’t just leave them at home. They have to take the books with them everywhere so they can read them every spare moment they have. So I end up buying several extra copies each time a new book is released. This man has gotten so much of our money! But you know what? It’s worth it. He has gotten so many kids interested in reading. And this hard cover book was so well priced on amazon that it hasn’t been as costly on us this go round. And it got here super fast!

Not so good...

Reviewed in India on November 18, 2018

Jeff Kinney had far been one of the greatest children's authors, and one of my favourite. But this time, after 12 whole books with great and relatable tales, it is officially declared that Jeff Kinney is running out of ideas. He keeps repeating details from his other books, and the story doesn't revolve around a certain point, and doesn't seem as extreme and thrilling like the other books. As far as I'm concerned, I say that this is one of the worst books he had written. It would be better to read the previous 12 books.

amazing book

From my experience, reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Meltdown is amazing. The story is based on a middle school student Greg Heffley who always seems to be getting into trouble like when snow shuts down his middle school. His neighbourhood transforms into a wintry battlefield. Rival groups fight over territory, build massive snow forts and stage epic snowball fights. And in the crosshairs are Greg and his trusty best friend Rowely Jefferson.

It's a fight for survival as Greg and Rowely navigate alliances, betrayals and warring gangs in a neighbourhood meltdown. when the snow clears will Greg and Rowely emerge as heroes? Or will they even survive to see anther day?
