I guess to continue this series, Jeff Kinney sometimes has to introduce new things that weren't there in previous books. I don't remember him ever living on a hill though, with there being a big divide between those living on the hill & those on the bottom? And a list and description of all his neighbors, which I have felt should have been included in the first (few) book(s). This book made me nostalgic for my childhood in New Jersey, where I spent the winters playing outside in the snow and building snowmen (when the snow was good enough for it, which was rare). I quite enjoyed this as much of this happens in real life and I laughed a lot reading this. This book didn't have much to do with Greg's family but I quite liked how the neighboring kids are fighting among each other. His dad has other ideas though and Greg ends up listening to his dad and makes a fort but other kids catch on pretty quick and they all build snow forts and then there's a battlefield and everyone is out to get each other. When they get attacked by other kids with snowballs, Greg runs home and tells his parents what happened but his mum says that conflict is a part of growing up. Having no other choice, he has to stay outside in the snow with Rowley and build an igloo to stay warm. On top of that, his mum has started the screen free weekends as she thinks that technology isn't doing much good to him. Greg wants to get a snowmobile but his parents tell him reasons why a middle grader can't have a snow mobile. There's a heat wave in the middle of winter and everyone is out enjoying the sun only to find out that the next day it's cold again and it's snowing. I will admit that this book still suffers from the frequent use of silhouettes that the author used a lot during this period, but I still really enjoyed this book.
Potentially, this book wouldn't be as good if this was your first Wimpy Kid book, but upon reading the previous books in the series, I really enjoyed this one.
I love this one, and I'd definitely recommend it. I don't know what has kept me going on with the series for so long, but I'm sure glad I have because even after reading this book twice, I still consider this my personal favorite Wimpy Kid book. The warfare is intense, strategical, and hilarious, and this book is filled with the classic Wimpy Kid humor. This book is everything I wanted out of a Wimpy Kid book. The next day everyone copies their castle idea, and it's all-out warfare across the neighborhood. They also end up building a snow castle but then that gets destroyed as well. Greg is forced to go outside and play, so he gets Rowley and together they build an igloo. This book has a very snowy setting, and it depicts Greg's town in winter.
The Meltdown is yet another book about Greg Heffley and his journey through middle school. This book is my favorite Diary of a Wimpy Kid book.
