Summary

Like a sudden soccer ball to the gut, the thrilling next installment in the enormously popular Big Nate series will take your breath away!
 

When you're a sixth-grade dynamo like Nate Wright, life comes at you fast。 Whether it's a soccer ball to the gut or another teacher tirade, surprises lurk around every corner。 In the latest Big Nate collection, Nate's friends issue the ultimate insult: they point out all the ways he resembles his arch-nemesis, Gina。 Nate also scores a new job as an intern at Klassic Komix, and his master plan to carpet-bomb the school with Valentine's Day cards goes seriously sideways。 And when Nate gets dragged into a cringe-worthy party for the dreaded Mrs。 Godfrey, what could possibly go wrong? With laughs, adventures, and jokes galore, DOOF! will take your breath away。

I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did。 I can definitely see why it's so popular with our students, and there's no doubt they would also enjoy this latest instalment。 。。。more

Great book! Another edition of Nate's antics that felt fresh and new, unlike some of the other Big Nate comics I've read recently where they continue to rehash the same few things。 The Godfrey storylines feel reused at points but I like that it was ~spiced up~ a little by introducing the class pet。 I particularly enjoyed Nate's valentines day antics as he continues his unsuccessful pursuit in the name of love。 I also really want to know if that girl ended up reciprocating feelings for Nate!

Another fun installment in the life of Big Nate; 6th grade, soccer dreams and of course, the ongoing battles with Mrs。 Godfrey [does she teach the whole school Social Studies???] and the insufferable Gina, all make for a fun and enjoyable read。 Middle grade kids will absolutely love this!! Thank you to NetGalley, Lincoln Peirce, and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review。

Nate made a mistake。 He decided to get serious about soccer so he got a coach。 Unfortunately, it was Coach John so he really got a workout! Then there was Mrs。 Godfrey's surprise birthday party and the Valentine's Day fiasco。 But what really got in his face was Spitsy deserting him to ice skate with Kim。 Bad dog! Plenty of the usual fun and shenanigans in this volume of Big Nate!Thanks Netgalley for the opportunity to read this volume。 Nate made a mistake。 He decided to get serious about soccer so he got a coach。 Unfortunately, it was Coach John so he really got a workout!

Big Nate: In Your Face! by Lincoln Peirce follows the adventures of Nate and his sixth grade friends told in comic book style。 Honestly, this was the first time I have read one of these books although my son has almost all of the other twenty Big Nate books。 I was originally introduced to this series when I was asking our librarian to give me a book, any book to get my eight year old to read。 What ensued has been a whole shelf of books from the masterful Lincoln Peirce and most importantly a son Big Nate: In Your Face! by Lincoln Peirce follows the adventures of Nate and his sixth grade friends told in comic book style。 Honestly, this was the first time I have read one of these books although my son has almost all of the other twenty Big Nate books。 I was originally introduced to this series when I was asking our librarian to give me a book, any book to get my eight year old to read。 What ensued has been a whole shelf of books from the masterful Lincoln Peirce and most importantly a son who chooses to read on his own now!I let my 13 year old son read it first。 He was laughing out loud and sharing jokes the whole time he was reading。 The jokes were pretty funny, but I am not the demographic so I wasn’t falling over in glee quite as much as my son。 He did share that he was glad Nate gave a valentine to every girl at school so no one would feel left out。 He also loved that Nate gave a paper to another basketball player with his insults written on it because he was not allowed to verbally trash talk him。 I probably could have done without that action, but Nate does not disappoint with his clever ways of interacting with the world。 I really liked his friendships with DeeDee, Francis, and Teddy。 My son did say the book was a little shorter than he was used to, but perhaps that was because he usually has a hard copy to read。As always the art was phenomenal and the comic book format will appeal to reluctant readers。 Big Nate is a little older but still relatable to the middle grade readers。 His adventures will keep kids interested and amused。I was provided a free advance reader copy from Andrews McMeel Publishing in exchange for my honest review on Net Galley。 The opinions shared in this review are my own。 。。。more

I laughed out loud several times while reading this。 Nate's continuing antagonism with Mrs。 Godfrey takes an interesting turn。 I was happy to see more time given to Chad and Dee Dee。 They added to the humor and took the strings in a few new directions。 I would heartily recommend this book。 I received a free electronic ARC of this book through Netgalley in return for an honest response。 I laughed out loud several times while reading this。 Nate's continuing antagonism with Mrs。 Godfrey takes an interesting turn。 I was happy to see more time given to Chad and Dee Dee。 They added to the humor and took the strings in a few new directions。 I would heartily recommend this book。 I received a free electronic ARC of this book through Netgalley in return for an honest response。 。。。more

As an educator and a mom, I find myself with a major conundrum。 I know how wildly popular the Big Nate series is and applaud the fact that graphic novels are appealing to many children who would otherwise not enjoy reading。 My problem lies in the fact that now that I have read a Big Nate book, I find some of the material questionable for the age group that it is appealing to。 The storyline bounced around like a ping pong ball in a small glass room。 Additionally, a lot of the humor was found in n As an educator and a mom, I find myself with a major conundrum。 I know how wildly popular the Big Nate series is and applaud the fact that graphic novels are appealing to many children who would otherwise not enjoy reading。 My problem lies in the fact that now that I have read a Big Nate book, I find some of the material questionable for the age group that it is appealing to。 The storyline bounced around like a ping pong ball in a small glass room。 Additionally, a lot of the humor was found in name-calling, obvious dislike for classmates and undeniable disrespect for most adults, especially teachers。 Nate and his friends have some fun times together, but it was hard to swallow Nate's dislike for school and most of the adults in his life。 However, I will remain hopeful that graphic novels will help unengaged readers eventually find joy in good book。 Thank you NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Thanks to NetGalley for the e-ARCAnother series of Big Nate。 There is nothing new about Nate and his friends but it is still funny in some panels。 I am glad to see Nate can finish his homework with a good grade from his teacher。 At least there is something good happen after all the miserable social study class with Mrs。 Godfrey。 I'd love to read next volume。 Thanks to NetGalley for the e-ARCAnother series of Big Nate。 There is nothing new about Nate and his friends but it is still funny in some panels。 I am glad to see Nate can finish his homework with a good grade from his teacher。 At least there is something good happen after all the miserable social study class with Mrs。 Godfrey。 I'd love to read next volume。 。。。more

Big Nate: I Your Face! is a kids comic targeting middle school age。 It comes with lots of humor and true-to-life growing pains。 Reminiscent of Calvin and Hobbes, it is a fresh voice of hilarity that this age group will enjoy。 Highly recommended。

This is my first time reading anything in the Big Nate series, and I can definitely see how a lot of 2nd to 3rd graders would find much of this humor utterly relatable。 There were some genuinely cute moments like playing go-fish with a hamster, tap dancing in an end zone, etc。But I really didn't like the joke about the Playboy mansion and Nate photoshopping a teacher's head on Leonardo DiCaprio's body to make him out to be a "philandering party animal" - Does this joke have any place in a childr This is my first time reading anything in the Big Nate series, and I can definitely see how a lot of 2nd to 3rd graders would find much of this humor utterly relatable。 There were some genuinely cute moments like playing go-fish with a hamster, tap dancing in an end zone, etc。But I really didn't like the joke about the Playboy mansion and Nate photoshopping a teacher's head on Leonardo DiCaprio's body to make him out to be a "philandering party animal" - Does this joke have any place in a children's book?
