The Meltdown is one of the popular titles in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. In this book, Greg Heffley’s neighborhood is hit by a massive snowstorm, turning the area into a winter playground but also a battleground for epic snowball fights. As the snow piles up, Greg faces challenges with his family, friends, and rival kids, navigating the chaos and hilarious mishaps of snowy adventures. Full of Jeff Kinney’s signature humor and comic-style illustrations, The Meltdown captures the fun and frustrations of winter through the eyes of a middle schooler.
What starts as a playful snowball fight soon escalates into a full-blown war, with snow forts, alliances, betrayals, and epic battles. Greg, of course, tries to stay out of trouble, but as always, he finds himself stuck right in the middle of the madness.
Funny, fast-paced, and filled with Jeff Kinney's signature cartoons, The Meltdown shows how friendships and rivalries can shift like melting snow, especially when cabin fever sets in.
