Great book! I've read almost every Big Nate book and sometimes things start to stop feeling fresh anymore. Especially in some of the comics from a few years ago, but this one didn't feel like that!
Nate has a girlfriend, for once, she doesn't break up with him and it's him breaking up with her, for good reason too. That's definitely character growth, while also still maintaining his Nate-like personality of flirting with every girl.
Also, I love the incorporation of Dee Dee as one of the main recurring characters because she's a good friend to Nate, dramatic, but still able to make fun of him.
AND!! Nate's crush on Jenny is no longer the butt of jokes since he doesn't like her anymore, which is shocking because he's been trying to flirt with her as long as I remember. The fact that he doesn't like her is good because it made the story feel fresh and new instead of new situations with no growth.

I received a digital copy of this book from netgalley for an honest review.
I read this to my 8 year old and she liked the story but she didn't love it.
I on the other hand thought it was funny and cute.
There were a couple things in the book that seem a little too old for her to understand. For example Twitter was mentioned and she has no idea what that is.

An entertaining read that reminds me a little bit of Peanuts, definitely fitting for the target audience of Middle Schoolers; and I wouldn't mind picking up another one of these in the future.

Received via Netgalley in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.
I don't think it's possible to not like this adorable comic series. Nate is the unluckiest, luckiest little guy. He puts himself into the most hilariously terrible situations, and always manages to get away with them.

'Big Nate: The Gerbil Ate My Homework' by Lincoln Peirce is a collection of Big Nate comics about the perpetual 6th grade troublemaker.
This time around Nate uses the class gerbil to help destroy his homework. He also breaks up with his girlfriend and that has aftermath. He decides to shoot a superhero movie starring Chad. He proves why he is the king of Prank Day.
You can't go wrong with a Big Nate collection. They are all a lot of fun and I am always pleased to see another one show up.

Thank you to the publisher for giving me a free copy in exchange for an honest review
Big Nate is back! With more pranks, excuses and more fun! I loved reading this, it gave me such a nostalgic feel for some reason. It was a super quick read and I enjoyed it so much.
The srt style is very easily readable which makes it very fun and keeps you going.
The dialogue is very basic since it's a comic aimed at younger viewers and all the textbubbles are nicely readable so you don't have to guess what anything says.
I loved this very much!
