I loved it! So funny!

[Bryce Zuerner · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was a long book but it was good, it showed what Nate did during the school year and how he has changed since then. It showed how he was through his sixth grade year with his two best friends. It explained how his relationships are with his teachers. He also went through rivalry through the year.

This book is very funny 😄

Nate Top Dog
I really liked to book because its 2 in 1 book. The book is very funny and engaging, featuring excellent usage of advanced words which makes reading a comic book white informational and it can be used in other educational work. The thing about this book its fun to read and also includes mind-controlling bright colors that makes this book fun to read for long periods of time.

My favorite character is
NATE.
He is a stupid monkey who adores getting detention and has the same brainpower to a plant.
But he is hilarious and funny. He is like the person to sacrifices his future to get out some laughs for is 2 friends.
The other thing is, he has an arsenal of junk stored in his locker, which is overflowing with junk. And sometimes valuables, such as a 100 dollar bill, a rare tape from the 90’s. Sometime his locker is used as a self defense weapon from bullies at his age. His hair looks very spiky and sharp and will ever retain its sharp and fine hair, even though he uses the gloss and holding gel.

The other thing i like about this book because its a comic and i like comics because i love entrancing books such as Big Nate and its series of books. It is surely extremely fun to read even how down you are.
8/10

I loved the book but it talked about the dog later. The book was mostly about Nate trying to get a girlfriend and a last name.

I would recommend reading.

Good book

The moment was filled with unexpected hilarity, catching everyone off guard with its sudden and uproarious nature. The comedic timing was impeccable, causing uncontrollable laughter that echoed through the room, leaving those present in stitches and creating a memorable, lighthearted atmosphere that would be recounted with joy for years to come.

D loves reading this series and is happy to know our library has a bunch of new ones. This is a double book - two in one - which he very much enjoyed. Great color comics. (7th grade)
