I Smell a Pop Quiz!

by Lincoln Peirce

How'd you like to be eleven years old, four-and-a-half feet tall, and the all-time record holder for detentions in school history? That distinction belongs to Nate Wright, the self-described genius, sixth grade Renaissance Man and star of his own comic strip, Big Nate. Equipped with only a #2 pencil and the unshakable belief that he is #1, Nate fights a daily battle against overzealous teachers, undercooked cafeteria food and all-around conventionality. He¿s the original rebel without a clue, alternately abrasive and endearing to classmates and teachers alike. Nate blazes an unforgettable trail through the sixth grade at P.S. 38, earning straight A¿s in laughs along the way. Big Nate appears in more than 600 newspapers worldwide and on the web at www.comics.com.

Not my favorite. My students are obsessed with Nate so I wanted to check him out, but I didn't really get the humor or find Nate's, "I hate school attitude charming." He seems like a knock off Calvin.

Okay, I think I've read all the Big Nate books on my Overdrive. Time to read real books.

I don’t want to write a review but now I am being forced to just because I wanted to give it three stars. Totally unfair

We're so proud of you for reading "Big Nate: I Smell a Pop Quiz!" by Lincoln Peirce! This story teaches us how to face unexpected challenges with a sense of humor and cleverness. Nate shows us that even when things get tough, like surprise quizzes or tricky school days, staying positive and creative can help us manage any situation. You can use this idea at school too! Whenever you face a new challenge or a surprise test, remember Nate’s attitude and use your smarts and humor to find your way through. Keep on reading and smiling, just like Nate does!

Lots of love and giggles,
Mom and Dad

Sixth-grader Nate Wright has big ideas and a ton of optimism to make them happen. His presence is way bigger than he is at 4' 6" tall. These comics show Nate in his school and family life following his antics as he navigates his world. Embarrassed by his father, bent on teasing his sister, laughed at by his friends, scorned by his love Jenny and fouled by his nemesis Mrs. Godfrey Nate has a busy life. Fun to read.

Big nate review

I like this book it was very funny and a very good book. I recommend this to adults and children. This book is for all ages from 2+. There is a bit of dark humor and name-calling, I must admit, but it is all minor. So over all this book is very good.
