The''' Mingo Kids''' are group of inbred hicks living in Greg's backyard. They are minor antagonists in [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck]]. They're a group of kids (presumably brothers or something) who appear to be quite feral, with their leader being a kid named Meckley Mingo, who chases people with his belt (which has a big buckle on it). They often chase people who happen to walk by their woods (usually just kids who happen to be walking home from school).
The '''Mingo Kids''' are minor antagonists that appear in ''[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck]]'' and ''[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Meltdown|The Meltdown]]''. They are a faction that happen to dwell within the woods, and their origins are unknown.  


It's unknown who the kids' parents are (or if they are even any adults in the family), and Greg explains that he's never seen any of the Mingo-kids (Meckley included) enrolled in school (at least not enrolled at his school) at any point, and as far as he or anyone else knows, the Mingo-kids just live in the woods like wild animals.

Greg mentions in [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Meltdown|''The Meltdown'']] that (almost) no one sees the Mingo-kids during the winter, and he figures that they must hibernate or something, because once winter rolls around, people usually don't see any of the kids until the spring (once all the snow has melted), and when the Mingo-kids do come out by the time spring comes, they look like they've just woken up from a very long nap.

The Mingo Kids are minor antagonists that appear in Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck and The Meltdown. They are a faction that happen to dwell within the woods, and their origins are unknown.

History

The Mingo Kids first appear in Hard Luck, where Greg happens to step too close to their territory. One of the Mingo Kids intervenes and warns Greg with the threat of Meckley harming him. Greg then takes the long way to school, fearing the Meckley might attack him. While shopping for shoes, he imagines getting a pair of shoes with wheels to outrun the Mingo Kids. Greg chooses to join an after school activity to wait out the Mingo Kids before leaving school, which leads him to join the Yearbook Club. Near the end of the book, Greg and Rowley are chased by Meckley and another member of the Mingo Kids.

The Mingo Kids later appear in The Meltdown, where Greg and Rowley stumble into the inner sanctum of the Mingo clan. Greg accidentally takes Meckley's belt buckle. The Mingos find out and sound an alarm, while Greg and Rowley escape. The Mingos eventually join the snowball fight against the Lower Surrey Street and Upper Surrey Street kids.

Personality

The Mingo Kids appear to be an organized group led by Meckley, their tough leader. They appear to be very territorial, as they chase anyone who sets foot in their woods, and warns them if they are near their terrain. They also might be war-like, considering they join the big snowball fight in The Meltdown. They are also shown to "hibernate," according to Greg.
