We’ve just received a brand new extract from the upcoming Diary of a Wimpy Kid: the Meltdown, the latest book in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney and we’re sharing it with you!

When snow shuts down Greg Heffley’s 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, Rowley Jefferson. It’s a fight for survival as Greg and Rowley navigate alliances, betrayals, and warring gangs in a neighbourhood meltdown.

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

With millions of books sold around the world in 65 editions and 56 languages, Wimpy Kid has turned millions of kids into readers.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Meltdown, is out on 30 October, published by Puffin.
