I think the book was awesome. Even the author of "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" like it. I like to call Nate "The Detention Kid," because he gets detention almost every single day. Nate has two good friends, Francis, who he knew sense kindergarten and never gets detention, and Teddy who was new at first but they got along quite alright, they even had detention together once. There some people he hates though, especially a girl named Gina, who is a big tattle tale and a total nerd, and his Social Studies...
When you've written a daily newspaper comic strip for twenty-two years—the length of time Lincoln Peirce had done Big Nate when this book was released in 2013—you get used to tweaking your paradigm on a regular basis to find new plot possibilities. How else could a cartoonist churn out hundreds of mini stories every year for decades? Fresh characters are added, well-known traits of main characters altered and sometimes even reversed, a ploy Lincoln Peirce uses to amusing effect in Big Nate Flip
Nate Wright an average kid that just hates school, decides that him and his friends should join the P.S. 38 chronicle (basically a yearbook) club. All he wanted was to be the photographer, but Francis (his best friend) would not stop yapping about how unorganized he is. But he becomes the photographer anyway. So, Francis worryingly let Nate use the camera that only he was allowed to get as the school editor. But when the camera goes missing, Francis blames it all on Nate and they get into a huge...
I wanted to read one of the Big Nate books just so I could understand why they are so popular. Now I understand! This was so much fun to read. I would definitely recommend these books for older elementary school and middle school kids.
Really looking forward to Lincoln Peirce visiting our school in April! Big Nate is fun!!
This may be my favorite Big Nate book! Due to an explosive fight with his best and longtime friend, Francis, Nate feels compelled to make some big changes to show Francis he is not a total slob. Kids will love the secret coded messages throughout the book and all the funny and often silly conversations back and forth between the characters. Big Nate books are a must have for any school library or classroom, a guaranteed hit.
For some reason I thought Big Nate was younger than middle school.Maybe because he looks younger on the cover?I thought this was a good story though.His friendship is tested,he gets hypnotized (LOVE that uncle character!)and the rest is hilarious.I like the illustrations inside,and like Big Nate's comic takes on things.I don't like that most if not ALL of the teachers are portrayed as being horrible.(except the librarian who sticks up for Nate, even after he ruins library books...)but that opini...
I like the book because it's funny. In this story it talks about this kid called Nate that would always get bad grades in class but then one day he gets his history score test back and it was 100%. I recommend this book to Alejandro because he likes to laugh.
A classic for the big nate,this type of book really gives the bad but goofy side of the middle school life. If you wimpy kid series,consider giving this series a shot,because these can be (almost)as good.The wild life of nate switching into a neat freak,really shows the change somebody can make if they want to(although he was hypothesized so after that he didn't have a choice).
I reread these books countless times as a little kid, cover to cover in one sitting, and they still hold up. :)
Gig nate is a good and funny book. The book a rilly quick read but good and funny at the same time. It has meny things the actually happen in school and lot of funny moments. The book seams like it has has sum real life experiences in it.
I loved the book
big Nate goes crazy in this book, I did not really like it because it was like big Nate goes broke
Why are all these popular books about disrespectful kids? No wonder disrespect is so prevalent in society today. That is how we are telling kids to act when we sell books like Big Nate and Diary of a Wimpy Kid to our kids. I understand it's "supposed" to be funny, but I don't see what's funny about drawing rude pictures of teachers and classmates. And this book in particular aggravated me because the Nate character proved that he could be a good student and the storyline made it seem like a bad
Okay story, but it is a quick read.
it was gooooooood
I recently finished Big Nate Flips Out by Lincoln Pierce. The character I'm choosing to write about is Nate. He is very funny and is extremely messy. His friends want him to clean up his act so he goes to his friend's uncle's house who is a magician and gets hypnotized. Then, he becomes really clean and all the teachers love him because he doesn't turn in his assignments in bad condition. But Nate doesn't like to be the teacher's pet. Nate always gets sent to detention but he doesn't anymore. Th...
I think this book was great. I liked this book because it's one of those books that are funny. I want to read more of these books in the future. I just can't find them and it's sad because I want to read more of this book.
Hilarious I enjoy the argument and hypnotism my favorite part was when Nate got Gina's horrific photo.
He is back at with gina. He back to being a class clown. Trying to impress everybody else. Still getting in trouble.
