It was great

I recommend this book to a lot of kids who don't find reading fun. This book is for all ages and gives you a great laugh! Each strip is something new and amazing. Nate is such a funny, witty character who brings a smile to my face. I recommend this to you and hope you enjoy it!

Big Nate and the rest of the crew return to school and bring with them laughs, hi-jinks, and shenanigans that all fans have come to love and expect. Laugh out loud funny.

We get to see Nate's baseball team celebrate their end of year. He also tries to create a superhero universe (of course, the NCU.) But he does have to go back to school where he discovers that his homeroom teacher is none other than... Mrs. Godfrey. There's also a storyline where Alan changes his line to Nate and Nate W is really not excited. Also not excited, Chad when he and Gina are set up as partners for a school project. But it's Nate to the rescue when he hypnotizes Chad to have a bad personality. Hopefully he'll be able to change him back...

My daughter is on a Big Nate rampage and so then so am I. She passed this to me upon finishing it and I wondered how it would stack up to the last volume I read. I enjoyed it and thought the jokes were solid and a fun read. Maybe because of the dating, plays and sports issues all addressed in this, I enjoyed it maybe even more then I thought I would. The characters all stay true to their nature and create some fun situations as always. A great book that will make your evening disappear...but you wont mind as it was time well spent.

The latest collection of the original comic strips (as opposed to the books based on the CGI animations) is once more something that will sell like bakery goods with Chad around, whatever I say. Here a second Nate arrives at school, Gina gets het up on Chad as a science project partner, and we're all probably better off for Nate not having a big role in "A Christmas Carol". It's all more fun and more varied and inventive than we'd really have a right to expect, after all these many books.

Another entertaining, laugh-out-loud collection of Big Nate comic strips. Seeing kind, gentle, bumbling Chad transformed into a spiteful, name-calling bully after hypnosis was a real treat. Watching Nate accumulate a series of detentions from a fellow student hall monitor was also a stitch.

Chad to the bone 😎

[Addy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think that this book was very funny and I really like it because it’s like the most cute boy turned super rude and mean.

I thought it was funny and I liked how chad was miss behaving I recommend other book by this writer

[Charlie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Why did they do that to chad

[David Erkale · Rating 3 out of 5]

The stories lacked some flavour to be honest. Peirce had to come up with unexpected scenarios just to make this work.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Alex Haden · Rating 5 out of 5]
