What will Greg Heffley do when it's a snow day? He'll have a neighbourhood snow battle, that's right.

Greg Heffley lives on Surrey Street and it's quite different from your average neighbourhood. On Surrey Street, you're either a hill kid or a non-hill kid. Greg and the hill kids can't stand the non-hill kids. In the summer the kids at the bottom never let the hill kids play down there. But in the winter the tables are turned. The hill is amazing for sledding and all the non-hill kids want in.

If you really want to enjoy and understand this book you have to know your Wimpy. In this book, there are a lot of callbacks to things that happen in previous books. So, to understand this book read a couple of the older Wimpy Kid books. 

So I really loved this book. In fact, I really love the entire series. I would recommend this book to ages 10-12. Something I would love to see is this book in movie form.  There are many Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies. If this movie is done well it could be AMAZING!

That's how he became a boxer. He let out all his anger with each punch. The boxing club that he attended was filled with racists. He got better day by day with practise and support from his coach and soon from his fellow boxers. The problem soon arose. The ABC (American Boxing Commission) didn't approve of Pardeep boxing.  It was because he had a beard and the rules say the boxer must be clean shaved. Pardeep and his lawyer fought until he was allowed to box. But did it work? Watch the movie to find out! I can relate to the movie. I have witnessed and faced racism countless times. I think that what Pardeep did r

Meeting a Member of The LGBTQ Community May Not Be Possible In The United States

Gender is how society defines if your a boy or a girl. It’s different from being biologically male or female. But in the United States, it might soon mean the same. On Monday, October 22nd the Trump administration wants to change the definition of gender. Lots of people spoke out to this memo, including Diana Flynn who is one of the leaders at Lambda Legal. Lambda Legal is a group which fights for LGBTQ rights.  "For years, courts across the country have recognized that discriminating against someone because they are transgender is a form of sex discrimination," Flynn says. Many other people also spoke out at a news event. Mara Keisling, a leader of the National Center for Transgender Rights, spoke with many other activists. She says that she feels like she’s in danger because of this memo. There have been many other attacks on the transgender community. They have been refused from joining the army, donate blood and in some cases buy a cake. The government threw out a
