Uummmmmm

This wasn't what I expected.
I expected a continue of where we left off with Nate and Trudy. I didn't expect this. Nonetheless, Big Nate is great, and I still love it!

Ok

[YashasRudra · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a banger of a book.
It is so silly, funny, and weird who thought the sloppy dumb kid would be a chess GOD! and every person who has read this book will agree that it is definitely a gift. oh and his comics are the best/
his comics define the phrase 'expectations vs reality '. Even though the book is about Nate we all have to agree the Gina and Arthur are the best characters

What I think about this book is that I like how the comics actually have long sentences in them. And that Nate had to go through his dad trying his hardest to play with him and spend time with him. And in the second book its Nate trying to get most of his friends back after summer break and they have to go to school the very next day.

It was funny

[Stacey Adams · Rating 3 out of 5]

Big Nate books are easy reads with short stories about a sixth grader making his way in life. Sometimes Nate is adult-like in his thinking, sometimes creative and inventive, he's a schemer, he's a comedian trying to get laughs and paying the price as he spends an unbelievable amount of time in detention for being disruptive in the classroom. He's not afraid to speak what's on his mind to teachers or peers. He's one of a kind. His confidence is legendary. He believes in himself and tolerates others. He's both typical and atypical of a sixth grade boy. Fun to read. This volume has two complete books in it. Double the fun.
