I read this with my son. It is a quick read with humor and adventure. A tale of a boy's winter, it makes you laugh.
funny medium-paced

Holy snowball fight politics, Batman.

The Meltdown was the snowball fight to end all snowball fights. It will go down in snowball fight history. There was NO MERCY. And there is NO WAY that I EVER would have lasted as long as Greg Heffley & Co. did outside in those conditions. Politics or no politics, war or no war, I would have gone home for a nice cup of hot chocolate. I suppose that's the difference between a reader (me) and a troublemaker (Greg Heffley.) Oh, well. He can't help it, and if he didn't get himself into sticky situations, his stories would be super boring.

As always, this installment of Diary of a Wimpy Kid was enjoyable.
